Yes, it is possible the fungus can jump to an un-infected host. In the body,
it can get on the mirror and the face of the pentaprism. I've seen it on the
outside of the eyepiece glass and on the shutter curtains. I'd suggest not
storing these fungus'd lenses on bodies for an extended period of time.
