title: Additional isolations of Blastomyces dermatitidis from natural sites.
abstract: The ecological niche of Blastomyces dermatitidis has not been established. This paper describes the repeat isolation of this pathogenic fungus from organic debris collected at a natural site and another, previously not reported, isolation. Although the precise environmental source of this pathogen still cannot be defined, each isolation of this fungus from a natural site adds to the understanding of the ecology of this organism.
