clinical observations on equine phycomycosis.	during a clinical study of equine phycomycosis in tropical northern australia 3 specific forms of phycomycosis were identified. of 266 cases diagnosed in 5 different laboratories, hyphomycosis caused by hyphomyces destruens was responsible for 76.7%, basidiobolomycosis caused by basidiobolus haptosporus for 18.0%, and entomophthoramycosis caused by conidiobolus coronatus for 5.3%. most cases of hyphomycosis were observed between march and july, that is after the monsoonal wet summer, but were ca ...	1982	6890342
investigations into the biology of three 'phycomycotic' agents pathogenic for horses in australia.	although 'phycomycosis' is a common disease of horses in northern australia little is known about the causative fungi. in this paper the laboratory methods for diagnosis are described. these revealed 38 cases caused by pythium sp. (hyphomyces destruens), 6 cases caused by basidiobolus haptosporus and 2 caused by conidiobolus coronatus. laboratory studies on the chemotatic behaviour of zoospores of pythium sp. showed that they were strongly attracted to both animal hairs and plant tissue. because ...	1983	6682179
