  • Title: Emmonsiosis of rodents in an agroecosystem.
    Author: Hubálek Z, Nesvadbová J, Halouzka J.
    Journal: Med Mycol; 1998 Dec; 36(6):387-90. PubMed ID: 10206748.
    Abstract:
    Adiaspores of Emmonsia crescens were found in the lungs of 62.1% of 87 adult rodents from 10 windbreaks compared to only 8.2% of 184 adult rodents caught in 10 adjacent arable fields in South Moravia, Czechland. A significantly higher mean weight proportion of plant remnants (predominantly small roots) was present in the soil from windbreaks (0.74%) than from fields (0.24%). In addition, mean relative abundance of rodents was significantly higher in windbreaks than in fields, and the windbreak soil was more acidic (pH 6.2 vs. 6.9, respectively). On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the water content (17.4% vs. 18.5%, respectively). The difference in the infection rate between the two habitats of the agroecosystem could be caused or affected by land use and farming technology.
