Adiaspiromycosis is caused by pulmonary infection with Emmonsia. Inhalated spores of Emmonsia cause asymptomatic infection to necrogranulomatous pneumonia, depending on the burden of adiaspore and host immunity. For disease monitoring of wild rodents captured on Jeju Island in Korea, we examined the lung tissue of wild rodents histopathologically. Spores composed of thick three-layered walls were found following histopathological examination and were diagnosed as adiaspiromycosis. Adiaspiromycosis has been found in mammals in many parts of the world. To our knowledge, this is the first report of adiaspiromycosis of an Apodemus agrarius captured in Korea.
阿迪孢子菌病由埃蒙斯真菌肺部感染引起。吸入的埃蒙斯真菌孢子会引发从无症状感染到坏死性肉芽肿性肺炎的不同情况，这取决于阿迪孢子的负荷量和宿主免疫力。为监测在韩国济州岛捕获的野生啮齿动物的疾病情况，我们对野生啮齿动物的肺组织进行了组织病理学检查。组织病理学检查发现了由三层厚壁组成的孢子，并诊断为阿迪孢子菌病。世界许多地区的哺乳动物中都发现了阿迪孢子菌病。据我们所知，这是韩国捕获的黑线姬鼠患阿迪孢子菌病的首次报告。
