Ajellomyces is a genus of fungi in the division Ascomycota, in the family Ajellomycetaceae.[2] The genus contains two species, which have a widespread distribution, especially in tropical areas.[3] The species Ajellomyces capsulatus is significant to human health as the causative agent of histoplasmosis.[4] This species is more usually referred to as Histoplasma capsulatum, with the designation Ajellomyces capsulatus referring to the ascomycetous perfect stage.[5]
