HISTOPLASMA CAPSULATUM: OCCURRENCE IN SOIL FROM THE EMILIA-ROMAGNA REGION OF ITALY.
The existence of an area in Europe in which histoplasmosis is endemic was revealed by the isolation of Histoplasma capsulatum from soil. The soil specimen was collected in a chicken yard on a farm near Bologna, Italy. The Emilia-Romagna region had been selected for study because several, apparently autochthonous, human cases of histoplasmosis had originated there.
