Abstract
Histoplasmosis was diagnosed histopathologically in a female chinchilla. This animal had originated from a commercial chinchilla ranch in central Missouri. Seventeen of 130 animals in the colony had died within a month's period with a respiratory illness. This animal had a history of fur chewing, but this was not true of all the other animals that had died. Histoplasma capsulatum was cultured from timothy hay used for food.
