Resumo: | The Cryptococcus genus is composed by 37 different species, however, the C. gattii and C. neoformans are the two most concerning species once they cause deep mycosis in humans. In this way, the present study had as aim to perform an analysis in droppings of pigeon (Columba sp.) from the city of Maringá, PR, in order to verify the presence of suggestive yeast forms of Cryptococcus spp. For this study 70 samples of pigeon excrements were evaluated which were collected in 7 different sites. These samples were submitted to the tests of thermotolerance at 37°C, urease, phenoloxidase activity and direct exam with China ink preparation. The results show that the pigeon droppings of 5,7% of the studied samples presented suggestive yeast forms of Cryptococcus spp. These results are relevant due to the positive samples are from the sites with a higher possibility of immunocompromised individuals flow, who are more up to have the most severe kinds of the disease caused by this fungi. |
