We collected fresh droppings and cloaca samples from feral pigeons Columba livia in the southern Swedish city of Malmö, and isolated the following fungi: Debaryomyces hansenii var. hansenii, Cryptococcus laurentii and Cryptococcus uniguttulatus. The first two species are known to be pathogenic to humans. No strains of Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans were found. Our results indicate that feral pigeons can be carriers of medically significant fungi other than Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans.
我们从瑞典南部城市马尔默的野生家鸽(Columba livia)身上采集了新鲜粪便和泄殖腔样本,分离出了以下真菌:汉逊德巴利酵母汉逊变种(Debaryomyces hansenii var. hansenii)、罗伦隐球菌(Cryptococcus laurentii)和单孢隐球菌(Cryptococcus uniguttulatus)。已知前两种真菌对人类具有致病性。未发现新型隐球菌新型变种(Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans)的菌株。我们的结果表明,野生家鸽可能是新型隐球菌新型变种以外具有医学意义的真菌的携带者。
