Ecology of these fungiWhat could be the origin of the contamination of the patients ? Identification of the niches of Scedosporium apiospermum shouldallow us to define prophylactic measures Methods facilitating the detection of the fungus from environmentalsamples should be developed to identify the potential sources ofcontamination of the patients, especially in the indoor environment. Epidemiological studies dealing with identification of the niches ofthe other filamentous fungi associated with CF should be promoted.
