Histoplasma capsulatum
(fungus)
Most yeasts that proliferate by budding or division have a tubular form.
The fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum belongs to the family of Onygenaceae and is thermally dimorphic, i.e. depending on the ambient temperature it grows in mould form (approx. 25 °C) and becomes a budding yeast at 37 °C (infectious form).
The fungus may cause histoplasmosis, a systemic mycosis (fungal infection).
Transmission mainly occurs via droplets or particles in the air.
