Abstract

This study was carried out for the identification of several fungi isolated from some different geographic regional soil samples and evaluation of its pathgenicity to the mice. isolates, The results were isolated from 200 soil samples and 11 strains from 25 pigeon excreta. 2. Seventeen of Cryptococcus neoformans, eight of Candida albicans and Microporum gypseum, six of M. coorei, and three of Sporothrix schencrii were identified group. 3. An association of C. neoformans with avian habitats was found. Ten of the 11 isolates came from areas frequently by pigeons such as pigeon nest and pigeon excreta. 4. The inflammatory reaction produced in mice that were inoculated with C. neoformans and C. albicans intraperitoneal route.
