Taxonomy: Eukaryota | Opisthokonta | Fungi | Dikarya | Ascomycota | saccharomyceta | Pezizomycotina | leotiomyceta | Eurotiomycetes | Eurotiomycetidae | Onygenales | Ajellomycetaceae | Histoplasma Anamorph: Histoplasma capsulatum Synonym: Ajellomyces capsulata, Emmonsiella capsulata (obsolete) Comment: Ajellomyces capsulatus is the causative agent of histoplasmosis, an infection that chiefly affects the lungs but occasionally spreads to other organs. Ajellomyces capsulatus is a dimorphic fungus, existing as a saprophytic mycelial form in the soil and as a pathogenic yeast form in the lungs of its host.
