We detected Histoplasma capsulatum in soil and penguin excreta in the Antarctic Peninsula by sequencing after performing species-specific PCR, confirming previous observations that this pathogen occurs more broadly than suspected. This finding highlights the need for surveillance of emerging agents of systemic mycoses and their transmission among regions, animals, and humans in Antarctica.
我们通过物种特异性 PCR 后测序，在南极半岛的土壤和企鹅粪便中检测到荚膜组织胞浆菌，证实了该病原体的分布比之前认为的更为广泛。这一发现强调了需要对新兴系统性真菌病原体及其在南极洲各地区、动物和人类之间的传播进行监测。
