Abstract
About 150 rodents were caught in a lowland deciduous forest in South Moravia, Czech Republic, at each of four seasonal intervals (January, April, July and October 1990), and their lung tissue was examined microscopically for the presence of adiaspores of Emmonsia parva var. crescens. In the four collection intervals, respectively, the proportions of infected animals were 44·4%, 50·0%, 25·9% and 22·0% (annual mean 35·3%) in the bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus), and 31·9%, 26·9%, 9·6% and 18·5% (annual mean 21·2%) in mice (Apodemus flavicollis, Apodemus sylvaticus). The highest incidence rate (the proportion of new infections) of adiasporomycosis was found in the voles in spring, and in winter for the mice. The different incidence between the voles and mice was probably attributable to seasonal variation in their edaphic activity.
