adiaspiromycosis in large free living carnivores.	adiaspiromycosis was identified in 6 animals in the examination of the lungs of 90 large carnivores. emmonsia crescens (chrysosporium parvum var. crescens) was demonstrated as the causative agent in 5 cases of disease-in the badger (meles meles), the otter (lutra lutra) and the fox (vulpes vulpes). e. parva was demonstrated in the remaining case of disease in a fox. the badger is a new, up to the present unknown host of e. crescens. the sporadic occurrence of adiaspiromycosis in the fox and the ...	1976	945461

respiratory failure caused by adiaspiromycosis.	adiaspiromycosis is a rare pulmonary disorder caused by the fungus emmonsia crescens (or chrysosporium parvum var crescens). according to the amount of inhaled conidia, man may develop symptomatic disease. after reaching the alveoli, the adiaconidia do not multiply or disseminate, but will induce a granulomatous inflammatory reaction that may lead to fatal respiratory failure. up to now, only five cases of disseminated pulmonary infection have been documented. this work describes the occurrence, ...	1990	2331914
taxonomic study of keratinophilic fungi isolated from soil and some mammals in france.	in france, most of the researches have showed the distribution of dermatophytes and other keratinophilic fungi in the soil and in the coat of wild mammals. during these last years, we have also practiced numerous investigations about the distribution of such fungi. the isolated species are: trichophyton mentagrophytes, trichophyton terrestre, trichophyton ajelloï, trichophyton simii, microsporum gypseum, microsporum cookei, microsporum nanum, microsporum persicolor, anixiopsis stercoraria, chrys ...	1988	2454405
[a fatal case of human pulmonary adiaspiromycosis].	a fatal case of human pulmonary adiaspiromycosis is reported. the patient, a male farm laborer from pernambuco, in the northeastern part of brazil, had moved to planaltina, df., one year prior the onset of his illness. the main clinical manifestations consisted in fever, myalgia, cough and dyspnea. after being sick for five weeks, the patient developed severe respiratory failure and died. grossly, disseminated nodular lesions, a few millimeters in diameter, were observed throughout the lobes of ...	1989	2694306
[keratinophilic fungal flora isolated from small wild mammals and rabbit-warren in france. discussion on the fungal species found].	the occurrence of dermatophytes and other keratinophilic fungi was investigated in 237 small wild mammals and 125 european rabbit. the purpose of the investigation was to determine what were the species of fungi present in the these animals. four species of dermatophytes were isolated: trichophyton ajelloi, trichophyton terrestre, trichophyton mentagrophytes, microsporum persicolor. trichophyton terrestre was the most frequently isolated and it occurred more frequently than its presence could be ...	1987	3662337
[1st cases of adiaspiromycosis observed in small mammals in turkey. 3 new host species].	the authors examine the lungs of 193 small mammals caught in different places in west turkey and belonging to 11 different species. six species have one or many adiaspores in their lungs. those are microtus arvalis, apodemus flavicollis and a. sylvaticus already found parasited by chrysosporium parvum in many countries particularly france. these are m. guentheri, pitymys majori and a. mystacinus which have never been mentioned before this day having adiaspiromycosis.	1985	3986950

[adiaspiromycosis in small wild mammals caught in tunisia].	the authors examine the lungs of 125 small mammals caught in different provinces of tunisia and belonging to 12 species; 4 apodemus sylvaticus, 1 mus spretus and 1 crocidura russula possess one adiaspore of emmonsia crescens = chrysosporium parvum or more hundred. they find adiaspiromycosis only in damp biotopes.	1984	6541531
human pulmonary granulomas caused by chrysosporium parvum var. crescens (emmonsia crescens).	multiple lung nodules were found at autopsy of a 56-year-old man who died of unrelated cause. the nodules contained adiaspores which were identified as those of chrysosporium parvum var. crescens.	1983	6625072

adiaspiromycosis in tasmanian wombats?	the finding of small spherules in the lungs of two species of wombats from tasmania is described. an histological examination of lung tissue caused adiaspiromycosis to be suspected and the etiological agent was thought to chrysosporium parvum.	1980	7393314
adiaspiromycosis: an unusual fungal infection of the lung. report of 11 cases.	adiaspiromycosis (ad"i-ah-spi"ro-mi-kósis) is a worldwide, noninfectious, nonarthropod transmitted fungal infection of lower vertebrates, most commonly rodents. humans become an accidental host by inhaling dust-borne spores (conidia) of the saprophytic soil fungus, emmonsia crescens (recently renamed chrysosporium parvum variety crescens). we report 11 cases of this unusual deep mycosis from south america, europe, and the united states. the severity of the disease depends on the number of spores ...	1993	8352373
disseminated adiaspiromycosis in a patient with aids.	a case of disseminated adiaspiromycosis in an aids patient is described. the most notable characteristic of the infection was the extensive osteomyelitis exhibited by the patient. positive cultures for chrysosporium parvum var. parvum were obtained from pus taken from a lesion of the wrist during surgery as well as from sputum samples and a bone marrow aspirate. treatment with amphotericin b controlled the fungal infection.	1993	8483061
human pathogeneic fungi and their close nonpathogenic relatives.	in order to understand the relationships between human pathogenic fungi and their close, nonpathogenic relatives, we compared small-subunit ribosomal dna sequences among four closely related pathogens, histoplasma capsulatum, blastomyces dermatitidis, trichophyton rubrum, and coccidioides immitis, and seven nonpathogenic fungi expected on morphological grounds to be their nearest relatives. we sequenced small-subunit rna genes from these fungi and used both genetic distance and parsimony algorit ...	1996	8812309
ajellomyces crescens sp. nov., taxonomy of emmonsia spp., and relatedness with blastomyces dermatitidis (teleomorph ajellomyces dermatitidis).	adiaspiromycosis is known primarily as a pulmonary infection of small burrowing mammals and rarely of humans, in which the tissue spore form consists of a large, globose, thick-walled, non-proliferating structure called an adiaspore. the causative agents have been placed in emmonsia or chrysosporium and treated as either two species or varieties. emmonsia parva (= chrysosporium parvum var. parvum) has been distinguished from e. crescens (= c parvum var. crescens) by differences in maximum growth ...	1996	8912163
adiaspiromycosis in a european beaver from sweden.	an infection with the rare mycosis chrysosporium parvum was diagnosed in a european beaver (castor fiber) shot in northern sweden. the animal was in normal body condition and no signs of disease were observed. in the lungs a large number of nodules, up to 5 mm diameter, were observed. a large number of adiaspores were observed in the interstitium of the lungs and in the mediastinal lymph node. a chronic inflammatory reaction dominated by mononuclear leukocytes and giant cells was observed around ...	1999	10231764
