Among the wild mammals predisposed to be infected with the etiologic agent of histoplasmosis, bats are relevant because they are reservoir of <jats:italic>Histoplasma<\/jats:italic> species, and they play a fundamental role in maintaining and spreading fungal propagules in the environments since the infective mycelial phase of <jats:italic>Histoplasma<\/jats:italic> grows in their accumulated guano. In this study, we detected the fungal presence in organ samples of bats randomly captured in urban areas of Araraquara City, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil. Fungal detection was performed using a nested polymerase chain reaction to amplify a molecular marker (Hcp100) unique to <jats:italic>H. capsulatum<\/jats:italic>, which revealed the pathogen presence in organ samples from 15 out of 37 captured bats, indicating 40.5% of infection. Out of 22 Hcp100-amplicons generated, 41% corresponded to lung and trachea samples and 59% to spleen, liver, and kidney samples. Data from these last three organs suggest that bats develop disseminated infections. Considering that infected bats create environments with a high risk of infection, it is important to register the percentage of infected bats living in urban areas to avoid risks of infection to humans, domestic animals, and wildlife.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268824000657","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,6]],"date-time":"2024-05-06T00:34:24Z","timestamp":1714955664000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Molecular detection of <i>Histoplasma capsulatum<\/i> in organ samples from bats randomly captured in urban areas of Araraquara, S\u00e3o Paulo state, Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"152","author":[{"given":"Jessica A.","family":"Ruiz-Mu\u00f1oz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriela","family":"Rodr\u00edguez-Arellanes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 A.","family":"Ram\u00edrez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0356-4138","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura E.","family":"Carreto-Binaghi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana M.","family":"Fusco-Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria J.
