Transmission of Paracoccidioides spp. fungi to humans is usually related to manipulation of soil. Rural workers are the most affected group. We report an outbreak of paracoccidioidomycosis after deforestation and massive earth removal during construction of a highway in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Extensive environmental disturbances might be involved in fungal transmission.
人感染巴西副球孢子菌主要与土壤接触有关,农民是最易感染的人群。巴西里约热内卢在修建一条高速公路时,因砍伐森林和大量土石搬运导致暴发副球孢子菌病疫情。广泛的环境干扰可能与真菌传播有关。
