Descripción : Histoplasma capsulatum is a pathogenic zoonotic fungus causative of systemic mycoses, which has been linked to the common pigeon (Columba livia) and their droppings. There are reports of cases, both in humans and animals, of patients diagnosed with histoplasmosis in several health centers the Metropolitan District of Quito, which suggests that the pigeons convey the Histoplasma capsulatum as other zoonotic potential fungi. The objective was to determine the presence of Histoplasma capsulatum and the fungal pathogenic potential in the population of common doves (Columba livia) in the Metropolitan District of Quito. 390 samples with 5g each were randomly collected in different parts of the city, with presence of pigeons (markets, parks and squares). The samples were integrated into a "Pool" of 10 units to form a sample that was sent to the laboratory for culture in two different agars: Agar Sabouraud dextrose chloramphenicol and Agar Mycobiotic, both media, specific for fungi cultivation, for a period of 30 days on average. There were found colonies of: Alternaria sp., Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Candida sp. (Not albicans), Cephalosporium sp., Fusarium sp., Mortierella indohii, Mortierella sp., Mucor sp., Penicillium sp., Rhizopus sp., Rhodotorula sp., Scopulariopsis spp., Trichophyton sp. and Trichophyton verrucosum. These results demonstrate the fungal zoonotic potential of pigeon feces. Analyzing by statistics, it is possible to conclude that there are no correlations between the presence of fungi and the place where was found. The pigeons in the Metropolitan District of Quito, do not convey Histoplasma capsulatum through their feces, but they convey other zoonotic pathogenic fungi.
