Cryptococcus neoformans was isolated on 276 occasions as follows: from pigeon faeces, 159 (45%) of 349 samples; pigeon crops, 39 (50%) of 80 crops; from drinking water, 37 (74%) of 50 samples; from the atmosphere, 3 strains in a contaminated loft. It was also recovered from 38 (19%) of 200 samples of canary faeces. It is possible that C. neoformans survives in the crop of pigeons and occasionally passes to the faeces where it multiplies. The factors influencing its presence are: the irregular cleaning of lofts, overcrowding and air-pollution from poor ventilation.
新型隐球菌分离情况如下，共276次：从鸽粪中，349份样本中有159份（45%）；从鸽嗉囊中，80个嗉囊中有39个（50%）；从饮用水中，50份样本中有37份（74%）；从受污染鸽舍的空气中分离出3株。在200份金丝雀粪便样本中，也有38份（19%）检测到该菌。新型隐球菌有可能在鸽子的嗉囊中存活，并偶尔排到粪便中繁殖。影响其存在的因素有：鸽舍不定期清洁、过度拥挤以及通风不良导致的空气污染。
