The article presents a study which aimed to identify the cause of systemic dimorphic fungal infection in patients in South Africa. In the study, DNA sequencing was employed to determine pathogenic fungi. It cites the three species of the genus emmonsia that are linked with human disease, namely, the Emmonsia crescens, Emmonsia parva, and Emmonsia pasteuriana.
