DISEASES OF THE LIVER 127 



Jaundice is very rare, and appears to result from 

 a long-continued mild congestion of the liver. 



Cercomoniasis (spotted liver) is a type of dis- 

 ease of the liver due to infection {Monocercomo- 

 nas gallinarum) that may be associated with 

 severe diarrheas. 



Aspergillosis is a disease due to a fungus (Asper- 

 gillus fumigatus, and sometimes other species). 

 It commonly affects the lungs (Pneumomycosis, 

 which see), but may, and occasionally does, affect 

 the liver.
