Abstract
Distribution of Allescheria boydii. Aspergillus fumigatus and Geotrichum candidum in selected sites in Lytle Creek, Clinton Co., Ohio, the Dayton and Yellow Springs, Ohio, Sewage Treatment Plants, and several other locations in southwestern Ohio and adjacent Indiana is described. Numbers of colonies appearing in isolation plates are tabulated. Diseases caused by these organisms are rarely reported in the area. However, data indicate widespread occurrence of etiologic agents.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
