Study of the role of pigeons in the dissemination of Cryptococcus neoformans in nature.

Cryptococcus neoformans was recovered from droppings collected within the first 24 h from pigeons experimentally fed with a dose of 5 X 10(6) cells. The fungus proved to multiply well though differently in the sterilized pigeon and chicken excreta seeded with the organism. In both unsterile types of droppings no viable cells of C. neoformans were detected after 4 weeks incubation. Isolated bacterial flora from the intestinal contents of apparently healthy pigeons showed a complete inhibitory effect on the growth of C. neoforms in vitro. It has been concluded that pigeons do not favor multiplication of the fungus in their gut and consequently they do not seem to play an active biological role in dissemination of C. neoformans in nature.
