title: [Presence of adiaspores of Emmonsia crescens Emmons and Jellison, 1960, a moniliaceous, aleurioid fungus, in the lungs of small wild mammals in northern Morocco].
abstract: The authors examine the lungs of 133 small mammals caught in the North of Morocco and belonging to 7 species: 12,8% of the animals (14/95 A. sylvaticus, 1/18 M. spretus and 2/11 C. russula) possess one adiaspore of E. crescens or more hundred. The relatively damp climate of this region can explain this strong percentage of infestation. That is the first time that the adiaspiromycosis is noticed in small mammals in North Africa and the second time on the African continent.
