Rhinofacial zygomycosis caused by conidiobolus coronatus. [PDF]
Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg, 2004 Fungal infections are common in a tropical country like India. Among the Zygomycosis infections, those caused by Mucorales are more prevalent. However, there exists another order of zygomycetes, the Entomophthorales, which rarely cause clinical disease.

Genomic Insights into the Molecular Basis of Broad Host Adaptability of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Conidiobolus coronatus (Entomophthoromycotina) [PDF]
Journal of FungiConidiobolus coronatus (Entomophthorales), a fungal pathogen with a broad insect host range, is a promising candidate for biocontrol applications. We sequenced a C. coronatus strain isolated from a Rhopalomyia sp.

An old confusion: Entomophthoromycosis versus mucormycosis and their main differences. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2022 Fungal diseases were underestimated for many years. And the global burden of fungal infections is substantial and has increased in recent years. Invasive fungal infections have been linked to several risk factors in humans which basically depend on the ...

Heat shock proteins (HSP 90, 70, 60, and 27) in Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera) hemolymph are affected by infection with Conidiobolus coronatus (Entomophthorales). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Invertebrates are becoming more popular models for research on the immune system. The innate immunity possessed by insects shows both structural and functional similarity to the resistance displayed by mammals, and many processes occurring in insect ...

Cuticular fatty acids of Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera) inhibit fungal enzymatic activities of pathogenic Conidiobolus coronatus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The entomopathogenic fungus Conidiobolus coronatus produces enzymes that may hydrolyze the cuticle of Galleria mellonella. Of these enzymes, elastase activity was the highest: this figure being 24 times higher than NAGase activity 553 times higher than ...

Successful Management of Rhinofacial Conidiobolus coronatus Infection with Itraconazole Monotherapy. [PDF]
Am J Trop Med HygABSTRACT. There are no standard guidelines on the management of Conidiobolus infections, and many antifungals have been used, either alone or in combination. Relapses are common even after successful management. Although localized, they can result in severe facial disfigurement and may rarely cause disseminated entomophthoromycosis, which can have ...
