Abstrakt: Abstract: Adiaspores of the fungus Emmonsia parva var. crescens were detected in the lungs of 288 animals (11.8% of Sorex araneus,1 of 5 Crocidura suaveolens, 19.6% of Microtus arvalis, 1 of 3 M. subterraneus, 36.1% of Clethrionomys glareolus, 23.3% of Apodemus flavicollis and 19.8% of A. sylvaticus) out of 1197 small mammals (Sorieidae, Arvicolidae, Muridae) of 10 species examined in the Pálava Biosphere Reserve, South Moravia, Czech Republic. The mammals were caught in May and October, 1989-1993. The overall prevalence of emmonsiosis (adiasporomycosis) was 24.3% in rodents (42.3% in adults) and 12.5% in insectivores (25.0% in adults). Emmonsia infection was 24.3% in rodents (42.3% in adults) and 12.5% in insectivores (25.0% in adults). Emmonsia infection was significantly more frequent in adult (42.0%) than in juvenile (13.3%) mammals and also varied according to habitat.
