Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of a specific fungal species (spp.) in lung tissues from 845 mammals across 31 families and eight orders, revealing that 26% of samples were positive for the fungus.
- A total of 36 mammal species showed presence of the fungus, with 17 species being recorded for the first time, indicating a broader host range than previously understood.
- The findings suggest that the fungal burden in these animals is generally low, indicating colonization or subclinical infections rather than severe pneumonia, which may highlight the potential of these mammals as reservoirs for the fungus.
Aim of this study was the retrospective investigation of viral (porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), torque teno sus virus type 1 and 2 (TTSuV1, TTSuV2)) and bacterial (Bordetella bronchiseptica (B. b.), Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M.
