Histoplasma species infect humans and animals, notably bats. Histoplasma species are
thermally dimorphic fungi existing in mycelial form in the natural environment and in yeast …

Histoplasmosis is a mycotic infection principally affecting pulmonary tissue; sometimes,
histoplasmosis can progress into a systemic disease. This infection involves …

Bats are considered to play a significant role in the epidemiology of histoplasmosis,
worldwide. We investigated the occurrence of H. capsulatum in lung samples from 89 bats …

Histoplasma capsulatum was sampled in lungs from 87 migratory Tadarida brasiliensis bats
captured in Mexico (n= 66) and Argentina (n= 21). The fungus was screened by nested-PCR …

Histoplasma capsulatum was isolated from gut, lung, liver, and spleen of 17 of 208 captured
bats belonging to 6 different genera and species. Three of the 17 infected bats were from the …

The presence of bats in caves, attics, ceilings, and roofs is important epidemiologically as
they can increase the chance of human acquisition of pathogens, including Histoplasma …

Histoplasma capsulatum has been isolated from 26 spp. of bat and from guano and soil in
their cave environment. An acute, febrile, respiratory disease on man, known as cave …

Hemotropic mycoplasmas are emerging as a model system for studying bacterial pathogens
in bats, but taxonomic coverage of sampled host species remains biased. We leveraged a …

Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern
for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non …

Histoplasma capsulatum was isolated from 8 of 176 samples of soil taken in Trinidad, WI
Four of these were associated with the presence of bats (Molossus a. ater, M. m. major …
