Mucormycosis, also known as black fungus, [3] [4] is a severe fungal infection [11] that comes under fulminant fungal sinusitis, [12] usually in people who are immunocompromised. [9] [13] It is curable only when diagnosed early. [12] Symptoms depend on where in the body the infection occurs.
Zygomycosis is the broadest term to refer to infections caused by bread mold fungi of the zygomycota phylum. However, because zygomycota has been identified as polyphyletic, and is not included in modern fungal classification systems, the diseases that zygomycosis can refer to are better called by their specific names: mucormycosis [1] (after Mucorales), phycomycosis [2] (after Phycomycetes ...
A mature sporangium of a Mucor sp. fungus. Usually, zygomycosis is a disease of the skin, but can also occur in the sinuses or gastrointestinal tract. In humans, it is most prevalent in immunocompromised patients (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [HIV/AIDS], the elderly, severe combined immunodeficiency [SCID], etc.) and patients with acidosis (i.e., diabetes ...
Mucor (short for Mucormycosis) is a microbial genus of approximately 40 species of molds in the family Mucoraceae. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Species are commonly found in soil , digestive systems , plant surfaces, some cheeses like Tomme de Savoie , rotten vegetable matter and iron oxide residue in the biosorption process.
Diagnosis and treatment A case of periorbiatal mucormycosis, a sign of highly invasive rhinocerebral C. bertholletiae infection. Although C. bertholletiae is only responsible for a small percentage of mucormycoses, it is cited as having the worst prognosis of the Mucorales. [ 8 ]
Feline disease refers to infections or illnesses that affect cats. They may cause symptoms, sickness or the death of the animal. Some diseases are symptomatic in one cat but asymptomatic in others. Feline diseases are often opportunistic and tend to be more serious in cats that already have concurrent sicknesses.
A reliable diagnosis can only be made with an elimination diet. Challenge–dechallenge–rechallenge is necessary for the identification of the causative food component(s). Therapy consists of avoiding the offending food component(s). [10] Cats with food allergies may present with red, hairless, and scabby skin.
The sporangiospores are asexual mitospores (formed via mitosis), produced inside sporangia (thousands of spores) or sporangioles (single or few spores).They are released when mature by the disintegration of the sporangium wall, or as a whole sporangiole that separates from the sporangiophore.
