cerebral mucormycosis following experimental inoculation with mortierella wolfii.a strain of mortierella wolfii isolated from a case of bovine mycotic abortion in the united kingdom did not produce disease in mice when inoculated by the intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intravenous or subcutaneous routes. when injected by the intracerebral route, it induced a chronic granulomatous infection of the brain resulting in hydrocephalus and eventually death.1977559251

localisation and pathology of mortierella wolfii toxin in mice.using 125i labelled m. wolfii toxin the site of action in mice was shown to be the kidney. autoradiographic studies revealed the label to be localised in the proximal convoluted tubules of the kidney, where there was a marked necrosis and degeneration of the epithelium causing the tubules to become considerably distended. although the distal and collecting tubules maintained their integrity, many contained amorphous casts. an injected dose of 1 toxic unit (10 mug protein) was sufficient to produ ...19751195060
observations on the experimental pathogenicity and toxigenicity of mortierella wolfii strains of bovine origin.four strains of mortierella wolfii isolated from cattle in britain were compared in pathogenicity and toxigenicity with a strain isolated from a cow with the mycotic abortion-pneumonia syndrome in new zealand. all strains produced acute lethal infection in rabbits after intravenous inoculation of mycelial suspensions and all produced subacute mycotic encephalitis in mice after intracerebral injection. they also produced an acid-stable, heat- and trypsin-labile toxin in vitro. the action of the t ...19911777793

an infection of cow with mortierella wolfii.a japanese black cow from a farm in gunma prefecture showed pyrexia, anorexia and depression. an autopsy revealed hepatic lesions consisting of numerous approximately spherical pale lesions scattered about on the surface and cut parts. the inflammatory lesions were observed in the right lobe of the lung. a part of the trachea was whitish and thickened. histologically, necrotic foci were observed throughout most of the liver with fungal proliferation about the blood vessels. the lesions of the lu ...19883344033
identification of mortierella wolfii, a causative agent of mycotic abortion in cattle.of several media tested for their ability to induce asexual reproduction in confirmed or suspected isolates of mortierella wolfii obtained from cattle in various geographical locations, only silage extract agar worked consistently and rapidly. its use should provide a simple reliable culturing procedure to assist with identification of clinical isolates of this fungus. temperature growth response curves and electrophoretic patterns of soluble protein extracts of these isolates with characteristi ...19873598823
mycotic abortion in cattle.placentas and foetuses from 1107 bovine abortions were examined and a fungal infection was diagnosed in 131 instances. fungi seen in silver impregnated sections of tissues could be placed into 3 categories designated aspergillus, phycomycete and atypical. culture indicated that the first 2 of these categories were due to aspergillus sp and mortierella wolfii respectively. the infections in the atypical category are probably also due to aspergillus sp. gross or microscopic examination or culture ...19873632487

purification and properties of a toxin isolated from mortierella wolfii.a substance toxic for mice has been extracted from the washed mycelia of mortierella wolfii. this toxin could also be demonstrated in culture fluids after spontaneous autolysis of the fungal hyphae. purification of the toxin was carried out using sephadex chromatography (g-200, g-50) and resulted in a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels. properties of the toxin included heat lability at 60 c, trypsin sensitivity, activity over a wide ph range, and a molecular weight of 23,6 ...19734784886
antigenic characterization of some potentially pathogenic mucoraceous fungi.the antigenic profiles of 10 mucoraceous fungi--absidia corymbifera, mortierella wolfii, mucor miehei, m. pusillus, m. racemosus, rhizopus arrhizus, r. microsporus, r. oryzae, r. rhizopodiformis, r. stolonifer,--candida albicans and aspergillus fumigatus were compared by crossed immunoelectrophoresis (xie). antigen-rich material was obtained from homogenized hyphae (or yeasts in the case of c. albicans), and antisera by multiple subcutaneous innoculation of rabbits with macerated but viable hyph ...19826182620

the bovine placentome in bacterial and mycotic abortions.placentomes were extracted from the uteri of 22 aborted cows and examined to detect the cause of abortion; fetuses or fetal abomasal contents from 15 of the cows were also examined. firm diagnoses of pasteurella haemolytica, actinomyces pyogenes, listeria monocytogenes, bacillus licheniformis, aspergillus fumigatus or mortierella wolfii abortion were made in 11 cases. the histopathological lesions showed some correlation with the identity of the bacterium isolated; the lesions of mycotic abortio ...19948197693

meningoencephalitis in an adult cow due to mortierella woifli.a 7-year-old dairy cow presented with clinical signs of neurologic disease. despite treatment with penicillin, the cow died 36 hours after initial presentation. necropsy examination revealed multiple foci of hemorrhage within the cerebrum and thickened meninges. additionally, endometritis and consolidation of approximately 30% of both lungs was observed. histology revealed necrotizing vasculitis, infarction, and hemorrhage within sections of the brain, uterus, and lung. large numbers of intrales ...200617121097
interactions between statins and penicillium chrysogenum antifungal protein (paf) to inhibit the germination of sporangiospores of different sensitive zygomycetes.this study reports on the antifungal activities of statins combined with an antifungal compound secreted by penicillium chrysogenum, paf. several species belonging in the class zygomycetes are considered to be agents of human or animal mycoses; other species have significance as postharvest plant pathogens. in the present work, four species (rhizopus stolonifer, mortierella wolfii, syncephalastrum racemosum and mycotypha africana) that exhibited different sensitivities to lovastatin and paf in p ...200717302920

systemic infection with mortierella wolfii following abortion in a cow.severe meningoencephalitis and endometritis associated with necrotizing vasculitis, thrombosis, and infarction were found at necropsy of a 4-year-old aberdeen angus cow with a history of abortion and neurological signs. focal pyogranulomatous pneumonia and nephritis were also present. fungal hyphae typical of zygomycetes were abundant within lesions, and mortierella wolfii was cultured from multiple tissues. this is believed to be the first report of systemic mortierellosis following abortion in ...201021358934

embolic mycotic encephalitis in a cow following mortierella wolfii infection of a surgery site.a 5-y-old holstein dairy cow had surgery for a suspected displaced abomasum 10 d postpartum, developed acute neurologic signs at day 19, and was found dead 21 d postpartum. at autopsy, there was a peri-incisional intramuscular abscess that communicated with the peritoneal cavity, as well as hemorrhage and malacia involving the brain, and multiple nodules in the liver, kidneys, and lungs. fungal hyphae were seen histologically at the surgery site, on the surface of the liver, and in lesions of se ...201728548570
