==Diagnosis==

In dogs, radiology is often peformed in the diagnostic work up of an animal with suspected Aspergillosis. Open-mouth ventro-dorsal views often reveal generalised radiolucency and lysis of the turbinate bones. Rhinoscopy may be used to directly visualise the lesions, revealing characteristic white-green fungal plaques. Fungal culture can be used to demonstrate the organism but should not be used as the sole means of diagnosis due to the possibility of false. Biopsy of the mycotic plaques is commonly performed in order to obtain material for cytology. Histological examination usually reveals presence of fungal hyphae with granulmatous inflammation and necrosis. grows on Sabauraud's Dextrose and Blood  agar.

In dogs, radiology is often peformed in the diagnostic work up of an animal with suspected Aspergillosis. Open-mouth ventro-dorsal views often reveal generalised radiolucency and lysis of the turbinate bones. Additionally, cytological examination of aspirates often reveals presence of fungal hyphae with granulomatous to suppurative inflammation and necrosis. Rhinoscopy may also be used to directly visualise the lesions, revealing characteristic white-green fungal plaques. Fungal culture using Sabouraud's dextrose agar can be used to demonstrate the organism but should not be used as the sole means of diagnosis due to the ubiquitous nature of ''Aspergillus'' in the environment. White colonies form intitially which turn dark green, flat and velvet-like in appearance.
