Abstract
The present study describes the isolation of Candida rugosa from young turk eys that died 10 days after the end of a therapeutic treatment for a recent outbreak of coccidiosis. Candida rugosa was isolated from the digestive tr act of all the birds examined. This isolation is the first in turkeys and c orroborates the fact that C. rugosa is an opportunistic yeast which circumv ents host defences when other predisposing factors are present.
