Eighteen (15%) of 120 Nigerian bats screened for fungal infections yielded yeasts of medical importance from their visceral organs. Candida albicans was the commonest organism recovered from the liver, spleen, kidneys and intestinal contents 1 of 10 out of 40 Glossophaga soricinia bats (nectar-feeding bats). Candida krusei was recovered from the liver and spleen of 3 out of 50 Molossus maior bats (the tropical house bat). Five out of 30 lesser free-tailed bats (Rhinopoma hardwickei hardwickei) yielded mixed isolates of Trichosporon cutaneum and Candida spp. from their liver and spleen. Only Glossophaga soricinia showed evidence of infection of the organs. The liver, spleen and kidneys were covered by white patches of yeast colonies.
在对120只尼日利亚蝙蝠进行真菌感染筛查时，有18只（15%）蝙蝠的内脏器官分离出具有医学重要性的酵母菌。白色念珠菌是从40只食蜜蝙蝠（索氏长舌蝠）中的10只的肝脏、脾脏、肾脏和肠内容物中分离出的最常见菌种。克柔念珠菌是从50只大犬吻蝠（热带家蝠）中的3只的肝脏和脾脏中分离出的。30只皱唇犬吻蝠中的5只从其肝脏和脾脏中分离出皮状丝孢酵母和念珠菌属的混合菌株。只有索氏长舌蝠显示出器官感染的迹象。肝脏、脾脏和肾脏被酵母菌落的白色斑块覆盖。
