Mycoses are caused by certain fungi; yeasts, molds and some fungi that can exist as both a mold and yeast. [ 3 ] [ 6 ] They are everywhere and infection occurs after spores are either breathed in , come into contact with skin or enter the body through the skin such as via a cut, wound or injection. [ 3 ]
The eight-year-old animal was the first report of this disease in a camelid ruminant. [21] In conclusion, phaeohyphomycosis is a highly prolific disease that is caused by multiple genera of fungi. The disease is transmissible through several mediums, including air, wind, and water. Both individual animals and whole populations can be affected ...

Mycetoma is a chronic infection in the skin caused by either bacteria (actinomycetoma) or fungi , typically resulting in a triad of painless firm skin lumps, the formation of weeping sinuses, and a discharge that contains grains. [1] 80% occur in feet. [1]
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 ...
By decomposing these molecules, fungi play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. Fungi and other organisms traditionally recognized as fungi, such as oomycetes and myxomycetes (slime molds), often are economically and socially important, as some cause diseases of animals (including humans) and of plants.

1. Loose smut of barley, caused by Ustilago nuda A class of destructive plant diseases, generally of cereal grasses, caused by parasitic fungi of Ustilaginomycetes. Distinguished by transformation of plant organs permeated by hyphae into a dark mass of spores. 2. Smut-causing fungi themselves in Ustilaginomycetes. Characterized by being host ...
Scedosporiosis is the general name for any mycosis – i.e., fungal infection – caused by a fungus from the genus Scedosporium.Current population-based studies suggest Scedosporium prolificans (also known and recently more commonly referred to as Lomentospora prolificans) and Scedosporium apiospermum to be among the most common infecting agents from the genus, [1] although infections caused ...
