    Author: Khosravi AR.
    Journal: Mycopathologia; 1997; 139(2):93-5. PubMed ID: 9549103.
    Abstract:
    Nine hundred and eighty three specimens of pigeon droppings, collected in different regions of northern Iran, were examined. Of these samples, 175 (17.8%) were positive for Cryptococcus neoformans. All isolates obtained were C. neoformans var. neoformans. Most of these isolates of C. neoformans were from pigeon shelters. There were significant differences in isolation frequency between pigeon shelters and the other collection sites.
