Adiaspiromycosis is a rare fungal infection caused by saprophytic fungi Emmonsia spp. (type Ascomycota) occurring especially in small free-living mammals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of histopathological lesions asscociated with adiaspiromycosis in the Eurasian beaver inhabiting Poland. In order to evaluate the presence of natural adiaspiromycosis we systematically investigated beaver populations from north-eastern Poland for adiaspores in the lungs. This study reveals for the first time the presence of pulmonary adiaspiromycosis of Eurasian beaver in Poland. As far as we know, there is no published data regarding pulmonary adiaspiromycosis in human patients in Poland.

Adiaspiromycosis is a nontransmissible infectious pulmonary disease caused by the inhalation of propagules from fungal species belonging to the family Ajellomicetaceae, especially Emergomyces crescens. Adiaspiromycosis caused by E. crescens has been recorded in a broad number of species worldwide, with small burrowing mammals being considered the main hosts for this environmental pathogen.

Recently, the global emergence of emergomycosis, a systemic fungal infection caused by a novel dimorphic fungus species has been observed among immunocompromised individuals. Though initially classified under the genus , a taxonomic revision in 2017 based on DNA sequence analyses placed five -like fungi under a separate genus . These include , and .

Article Synopsis
- Knowledge of infectious diseases in wildlife is critical for preventing zoonotic outbreaks, with adiaspiromycosis being a neglected disease in humans caused by specific fungi.
- This study investigated roadkilled armadillos to understand the occurrence and pathology of adiaspiromycosis, discovering cases in both the six-banded and southern naked-tailed armadillos.
- Twelve instances of pulmonary adiaspiromycosis were identified, revealing a potentially new species of fungus, raising concerns about its implications for human health and public safety.

Lesions of adiaspiromycosis, a respiratory disease affecting wild animals, have been found mainly in dead mammals and free-living mammals captured for surveillance. No report has described an investigation of adiaspore formation progress in the lung. After establishing an experimental mouse model of intratracheal adiaspiromycosis infection with the causative agent Emmonsia crescens, we observed adiaspore development.
