“…Their occurrence has been related to the agroecosystem and their highest abundance was observed in plant remnants and rodent burrows (Hubalék et al 1998). The presence of this fungus has been reported in domestic and wild rodents (Zlatanov & Genov 1975, Hubalék et al 1998, carnivores (Krivanec et al 1980) and armadillos (Santos 1999).…”

“…Studies have shown that its occurrence is related to dense forest areas, with abundant plant remnants (53). Several works have reported the presence of this fungus in wild and domestic rodents, carnivores and armadillos (53)(54)(55)(56). Rodent burrows have been pointed out as the main habitats of the fungus since it is present in the soil and is frequently detected in these animals.…”

Road-killed wild animals have been for years used for surveillance of vectors of zoonotic pathogens and may offer new opportunities for eco-epidemiological studies. In the current study, fungal infection was evaluated by PCR and nested-PCR in tissue samples collected from 19 road-killed wild animals. The necropsies were carried out and samples were collected for DNA extraction. Results, using PCR with a panfungal primer and nested PCR with specific primers, indicated that some animals are naturally infected with Amauroascus aureus, Metarhizium anisopliae, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus oryzae, Emmonsia parva, Paracoccidioides brasiliensis or Pichia stipitis. The approach employed herein proved useful for detecting the environmental occurrence of several fungi, as well as determining natural reservoirs in wild animals and facilitating the understanding of host-pathogen relationships.

“…Fungi pertaining to the genus Chrysosporium have been described in samples from soil and lung tissue of burrowing mammals 23 , especially rodents, in wild and urbanperipheric areas, with a world-wide-distribution 13 22 . It is well known that farm activities may expose humans to soil dust containing conidia fungus; however, case reports of symptomatic human adiaspiromycosis or incidental necropsy findings persist astonishingly rare, even in countries where unhealthy agricultural and rural activities still predominate.…”

Two cases of human pulmonary adiaspiromycosis are reported. Patients were 29 and 54-year-old males, farm workers, with "grippe-like" symptoms and radiographic findings suggestive of granulomatous interstitial disease. Transthoracoscopic and transbronchial biopsies were performed. Pulmonary function was measured by spirometry. One patient used ketoconazole. Possibility of misdiagnosed pulmonary adiaspiromycosis is emphasized. Key-words: Pulmonary mycosis. Adiaspiromycosis. Emmonsia parva var crescens. Chrysosporium parvum var crescens. Pulmonary biopsy. Spirometry.Resumo Relatam-se casos de adiaspiromicose pulmonar em homens brancos de 29 e 54 anos, lavradores, com sintomas "gripais" e achados radiológicos sugestivos de doença granulomatosa intersticial. Biópsias transbrônquicas e transtoracoscópicas foram realizadas. A função pulmonar foi avaliada por espirometria. Um paciente usou cetoconazol. Enfatizam-se possibilidades de confusão diagnóstica na adiaspiromicose pulmonar.
