| experimental infection in gerbils by conidiobolus lamprauges. | conidiobolomycosis is an emerging entomophthoramycosis caused by fungi conidiobolus spp. animal models are essential for the study of infectious disease in various areas such as pathogenesis, diagnostic methods, treatment and prevention. there is not currently an animal model for conidiobolomycosis. the aim of this study was to create an experimental infection protocol for conidiobolus lamprauges in gerbils (meriones unguiculatus). the study animals were randomly divided into four groups of four ... | 2017 | 28258001 |
| in vitro susceptibility of conidiobolus lamprauges recovered from sheep to antifungal agents. | data regarding the susceptibility of conidiobolus lamprauges is limited and there is no consensus about the optimal treatment for infections caused by conidiobolus spp. in this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro susceptibility of six c. lamprauges strains isolated from sheep conidiobolomycosis to amphotericin b, ketoconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, voriconazole, anidulafungin, caspofungin, micafungin, flucytosine, and terbinafine using the clsi m3 ... | 2013 | 23958402 |
| pathology of nasal infection caused by conidiobolus lamprauges and pythium insidiosum in sheep. | conidiobolomycosis and pythiosis are important diseases of sheep in midwestern brazil. veterinary practitioners consider it difficult to differentiate between these diseases because they have similar clinical features. in this study, 186 sheep were subjected to necropsy examination over a 6-year period. thirty (16.1%) cases of rhinitis in sheep that were caused by conidiobolus lamprauges (n = 15) or pythium insidiosum (n = 15) were investigated further. the lesions of c. lamprauges infection wer ... | 2013 | 23375916 |
| molecular characterization of ovine zygomycosis in central western brazil. | zygomycosis is an important granulomatous disease that affects humans and animals, particularly sheep in tropical regions. rhinofacial and nasopharyngeal zygomycosis were described in sheep in association with conidiobolus spp. the present study characterized 5 samples of conidiobolus isolated from 3 herds with clinical disease in mato grosso state, brazil. the clinical and pathological findings were similar to nasopharyngeal zygomycosis. based on morphological features, isolates were classified ... | 2010 | 20224092 |
| equine zygomycosis caused by conidiobolus lamprauges. | a 15-year-old arabian mare from southern louisiana with a 2-month history of periodic epistaxis and severe weight loss had a large, fibrosing, granulomatous mass containing numerous nodules ("kunkers") projecting dorsally into the nasopharynx, and was euthanized at the owner's request. in addition to these kunkers, the mass contained a single trematode tentatively identified as fasciola hepatica. several kunkers were removed, washed thoroughly in sterile water and embedded in nutrient agars; the ... | 1989 | 2715329 |
| 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 |
| disseminated human conidiobolomycosis due to conidiobolus lamprauges. | we describe a disseminated fungal infection by conidiobolus lamprauges in a patient with malignant lymphoma. histopathology and mycological studies were performed, along with molecular analyses. this is the first record of this species causing human disease and the fifth reported disseminated infection by a conidiobolus sp. in humans. | 2010 | 21147951 |
| morphologic and phylogenetic characterization of conidiobolus lamprauges recovered from infected sheep. | conidiobolus lamprauges, a soil and plant entomophthoralean fungus, has been reported only in a horse and, more recently, in sheep with rhinopharyngeal entomophthoramycosis. thus, little information is available to enable proper identification of this pathogen and its differentiation from other saprotrophic and pathogenic conidiobolus species. using classical mycological tools and molecular methodologies, we report for the first time the taxonomic and phylogenetic description of three c. lamprau ... | 2010 | 20007391 |
