Abstract Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed
rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10–15 …

Fungi must meet four criteria to infect humans: growth at human body temperatures,
circumvention or penetration of surface barriers, lysis and absorption of tissue, and …

During a study of indoor fungi, 145 isolates belonging to Chaetomiaceae were cultured from
air, swab and dust samples from 19 countries. Based on the phylogenetic analyses of DNA …

The diversity of filamentous fungi that can grow at high ambient pH values (ie, 8–11)
remains largely understudied. Here we study 100 alkalitolerant and alkaliphilic isolates from …

Mycetoma is a chronic granulomatous disease. It is classified into eumycetoma caused by
fungi and actinomycetoma due to filamentous actinomycetes. Mycetoma can be found in …

Mycetoma is a unique neglected tropical disease caused by a substantial number of
microorganisms of fungal or bacterial origins. Identification of the causative organism and …

Chaetomium globosum, the type species of the genus, is ubiquitous, occurring on a wide
variety of substrates, in air and in marine environments. This species is recognised as a …

Mycetoma is a chronic, incapacitating, destructive inflammatory disease with many serious
damaging impacts. Currently, there is no control or prevention program as many of its …

Mycetoma is a tropical disease which is caused by a taxonomically diverse range of
actinomycetes (actinomycetoma) and fungi (eumycetoma). The disease was only recently …

Eumycetoma is a chronic fungal infection characterised by large subcutaneous masses and
the presence of sinuses discharging coloured grains. The causative agents of black-grain …
