Molecular Detection of Histoplasma capsulatum in Small Wild Mammals, Dogs, and Cats from Areas of Remaining Forest in the Brazilian Amazon

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Histoplasma capsulatum is the etiological agent of histoplasmosis, which can infect birds and different mammal species, including humans. In Brazil, the disease is not notifiable, and little is known about its infection in domestic and wild mammals. This study aimed to perform the molecular detection of H.
