“…By comparison, C. bacillisporus (VGIII) was identified in patients with HIV/AIDS in the United States, especially in Southern California, with fewer cases in Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, New Jersey, Michigan, and Alaska. Outside the United States, infections were reported in Latin America from Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Venezuela, and Guatemala ( Byrnes et al, 2011 ; Walraven et al, 2011 ; Lockhart et al, 2013 ; Lizarazo et al, 2014 ; Singer et al, 2014 ; Springer et al, 2014 ; González et al, 2016 ; Vélez and Escandón, 2017 ; Berejnoi et al, 2019 ). However, a recent veterinary isolation in a domestic animal was reported for the first time in central Chile, in the locality of Limache, 15 kilometers south of the city of Valparaíso (30°59′S, 71°17′W), extending its southern geographical limit to a geographical area where it has never been recorded before (non-endemic species) ( Vieille et al, 2018 ).…”
