Fungal hyphae were demonstrated in the asteroid bodies in 11 of these 18 cattle. Fungi were isolated from 18 out of 66 animals in which mesenteric nodes were examined by a reliable cultural method. The findings suggest that the intestine may be an important portal of entry in systemic fungal infections of cattle.", }
