HISTOPLASMA CAPSULATUM FROM THE LIVER OF A BAT IN COLOMBIA
Abstract
Of 135 bats (eight species), one of the species Glossophaga sorcina sorcina, a nectar-feeding bat from Girardot, Colombia, harbored Histoplasma capsulatum. The microorganism was cultured from the liver. This is the second report of recovery of this fungus from bat tissue.
