Abstract

Using specific primers based on the ribosomal operon, positive DNA amplification was obtained from lungs of 11/215 tested small burrowing animals, both terrestrial and aquatic, and including frozen (n = 4) and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (n = 7) samples. The main species detected in Europe in mice, otters and river rats was Emmonsia crescens. Two strains from otters and weasels were Blastomyces parvus. Two Australian wombats revealed the presence of a hitherto unknown species of the geophilic genus Emmonsiellopsis
