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.
通过从土壤中分离出荚膜组织胞浆菌,揭示了欧洲存在组织胞浆菌病的地方流行区域。土壤样本采自意大利博洛尼亚附近一个农场的鸡舍。选择艾米利亚 - 罗马涅地区进行研究,是因为那里出现了几例明显为本地感染源的组织胞浆菌病病例。
