摘要：

Pansteatitis can be fatal and contribute to wild crocodilian population declines. We documented lesions consistent with pansteatitis in two wild American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) from South Carolina and Mississippi, USA. These findings extend our knowledge of pansteatitis in wild crocodilians, for which few observations exist beyond Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus).
