title: Concurrent infection with Clostridium and Plasmodium in a captive king penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus.
abstract: Concurrent infection with Plasmodium relictum and Clostridium perfringens Type B was diagnosed in a king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) that died in the National Zoological Gardens, Pretoria. Macro- and microscopic pathological changes were mainly due to C. perfringens. The relative significance of the two pathogens is discussed.
