Emergomyces africanus in Soil, South Africa [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018 We detected Emergomyces africanus, a thermally dimorphic fungus that causes an HIV-associated systemic mycosis, by PCR in 18 (30%) of 60 soil samples from a wide range of habitats in South Africa. Direct and indirect culture techniques were unsuccessful.
