A statewide survey of populations in proximity to blackbird roost sites to determine exposure to histoplasmosis from such sites has demonstrated that a site harboring Histoplasma capsulatum, even though undisturbed, adds significantly to the exposure rate of proximal populations. Disturbance of such a site increases the exposure rate dramatically with or without concurrent clinical cases of histoplasmosis.
一项针对黑鹂栖息地附近人群的全州范围调查,旨在确定这些地点人群感染组织胞浆菌病的暴露情况,结果表明,即使未受干扰,含有荚膜组织胞浆菌的地点也会显著增加附近人群的暴露率。无论是否同时存在组织胞浆菌病临床病例,对这样一个地点的干扰都会大幅提高暴露率。
