Emmonsia parva (formerly Chrysosporium parvum) is a filamentous, saprotrophic fungus and one of three species within the genus Emmonsia.[1][2] The fungus is most known for its causal association with the lung disease, adiaspiromycosis[3] which occurs most commonly in small mammals but is also seen in humans.[2] The disease was first described from rodents in Arizona,[4] and the first human case was reported in France in 1964.[2] Since then, the disease has been reported from Honduras, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Russia, the United States of America and Guatemala.[2] Infections in general are quite rare, especially in humans.[2]
