Prima descrizione in Italia di un caso di adiaspiromicosi polmonare in una lontra eurasiatica (Lutra lutra)
Adiaspiromycosis is a pulmonary disease caused by the inhalation of the ubiquitous fungus Emmonsia spp., a common soil inhabitant. In this disease, the replication and dissemination of the fungus from the primary site are lacking.Members of the Family Mustelidae seem to be highly susceptible to this...
