| [study of the sugar composition of conidiobolus strains saprophytic or pathogenic to man and animal]. | the composition in the cell wall sugars of 13 strains of conidiobolus coronatus and 1 strain of conidiobolus incongruus has been determined. glucose and mannose were found to be the main sugars. the study of the ratio mannose/glucose has shown that there are 3 groups of strains. the first group which contains the strain of c. coronatus isolated from man or chimpanzee is characterized by a ratio lying between 0.92 and 1.3. the second group containing the strains of c. coronatus isolated from hors ... | 1978 | 567744 |
| ovine nasal zygomycosis caused by conidiobolus incongruus. | about 700 sheep died on 52 farms in north-western new south wales and south-western queensland over a 3 mo period. affected animals had a marked asymmetrical swelling of the face, extending from the nostril to just anterior to the eyes. they lost condition rapidly and died within 7 to 10 days. at necropsy there was a unilateral severe necrogranulomatous rhinitis with extension of inflammation into the adjacent subcutaneous tissue, nasal septum and hard palate. metastatic lesions were present in ... | 1992 | 1445069 |
| rhinocerebral and nasal zygomycosis in sheep caused by conidiobolus incongruus. | the clinical findings, pathology and mycology of a cluster of 5 ovine cases of rhinocerebral and nasal zygomycosis caused by conidiobolus incongruus are described. all cases were in border leicester or merino x border leicester ewes from a flock pastured in a low-lying paddock adjoining a small tidal river in subtropical queensland (latitude 28 degrees s). these cases of zygomycosis are believed to be the first infections due to c incongruus recorded in animals other than humans. the disease was ... | 1992 | 1605789 |
| comparative antigenic studies of species of basidiobolus and other medically important fungi. | an immunodiffusion technique was used to evaluate the antigenic relationship of various pathogenic and saprobic basidiobolus spp., conidiobolus spp., isolates of the order mucorales, and several other medically important nonzygomycetous fungi. the antiserum to basidiobolus haptosporus shared two lines of identity, designated inner (n) and outer (y), when tested against exoantigens of known strains of b. haptosporus and basidiobolus ranarum as well as exoantigens of a human nigerian isolate and s ... | 1986 | 3084553 |
| disseminated infection with conidiobolus incongruus. | the first fatal case of disseminated infection due to conidiobolus incongruus is reported. the patient presented with a subcutaneous mass, febrility, weight loss, cough and hemoptysis. histological examination of skin and subcutaneous tissue, lung, lymph nodes, esophagus, liver and jejunum showed a granulomatous reaction with bright eosinophilic amorphous material and broad hyphae. a fungus cultured from skin and subcutaneous tissue was identified as conidiobolus incongruus. | 1983 | 6686345 |
| invasive zygomycosis due to conidiobolus incongruus. | during the past decade, an increasing spectrum of pathogenic zygomycetes fungi have caused infections in humans. the preponderance of these deeply invasive infections have been caused by members of the order mucorales. however, deeply invasive zygomycoses due to genera of the order entomophthorales (conidiobolus species and basidiobolus species) have seldom been reported. we describe a granulocytopenic patient with pulmonary and pericardial zygomycosis due to conidiobolus incongruus, describe th ... | 1994 | 7811860 |

| periorbital cellulitis secondary to conidiobolus incongruus. | a previously healthy, 18-month-old girl developed edema and erythema around her left eye 1 week after getting sand in that eye. the patient did not respond to oral or intravenous antibiotics. a mass developed around the eye, and biopsy revealed conidiobolus incongruus. the patient failed to respond to amphotericin b 1 mg/kg, and susceptibility tests indicated multiantifungal resistance. a combination of antifungal therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, and surgery was required for successful treatment. thr ... | 2001 | 11253859 |
| orofacial conidiobolomycosis due to conidiobolus incongruus. | we report here a patient of orofacial conidiobolomycosis presenting with classical centrofacial distribution described typically for conidiobolus coronatus infection. the culture, however, showed c. incongruus. the mode of infection and its possible correlation with patient's occupation is also discussed. | 2003 | 12870203 |

| systemic conidiobolus incongruus infection and hypertrophic osteopathy in a white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus). | postmortem examination of a free-range white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) revealed severe emaciation, bilateral firm proliferation of the metatarsal diaphyses, and a large intrathoracic mass associated with the accessory lung lobe. smaller masses were evident in the abomasum, duodenum, omentum, and the capsular surface of the liver. microscopically, the masses were similar and were diagnosed as eosinophilic granulomas with intralesional fungal hyphae characteristic of zygomycetes spp. fu ... | 2009 | 19139524 |
| rhino-orbitocerebral zygomycosis caused by conidiobolus incongruus in an immunocompromised patient in germany. | mucorales (subphylum mucoromycotina) are well-known agents of invasive mucormycosis, whereas entomophthorales (subphylum entomophthoromycotina) are rarely encountered in human diseases in temperate zones. here we report a fatal case of invasive rhino-orbitocerebral entomophthoramycosis caused by conidiobolus incongruus in a 78-year-old woman with myelodysplastic syndrome. | 2010 | 20861341 |
| disseminated conidiobolus incongruus in a dog: a case report and literature review. | conidiobolomycosis is a rare fungal disease of both humans and animals, occurring mainly in tropical and subtropical climates. we describe a disseminated fungal infection in a young, apparently immunocompetent dog who initially presented for antibiotic resistant pneumonia. histopathology and mycology identified a conidiobolus sp., further confirmed as conidiobolus incongruus through dna sequencing of d1/d2 regions. this is the first report of this species causing disease in dogs and the fifth re ... | 2015 | 25830088 |
| concurrent infections of conidiobolus coronatus with disseminated tuberculosis presenting as bilateral orbital cellulitis. | zygomycetes species contains two orders of organisms that infect humans, namely mucorales and entomophthorales. entomophthorales cause chronic infection in immunocompetent patients, invading subcutaneous tissues but are non-angioinvasive. this includes basidiobolus ranarum, conidiobolus incongruus and conidiobolus coronatus. we report a case of disseminated tuberculosis with conidiobolus coronatus infection presenting as orbital cellulitis in an adolescent. | 2016 | 27190852 |
| conidiobolomycosis in a young malaysian woman showing chronic localized fibrosing leukocytoclastic vasculitis: a case report and meta-analysis focusing on clinicopathologic and therapeutic correlations with outcome. | conidiobolomycosis (also known as rhinoentomophthoramycosis) is a rare cutaneous/mucosal fungal infection seen mainly in the tropical rain forest regions of the world that can be associated with disfiguring facial elephantiasis, and rarely, death. | 2012 | 22728716 |
