Abstract(s)

Fusarium solani infections in elasmobranchs are described mainly with skin, lateral line, skeletal muscle, and cartilage involvement. We described F. solani cases with head subcutaneous abscess of the endolymphatic tubes, labyrinthitis and meningitis in 4 Port Jackson sharks, occurring c. twenty years ago.4 Last year, we had a new case with a similar clinical and histopathology presentation.
