Entomophthorales
Entomophthorales[‚ent·ə‚mäf·thə′rā·lēz] (mycology) An order of mainly terrestrial fungi in the class Phycomycetes having a hyphal thallus and nonmotile sporangiospores, or conidia. Entomophthorales an order of fungi of the class Phyco-mycetes. The mycelium is reduced and frequently divided into irregular shaped sections called hyphal bodies. During fusion the bodies form zygospores or divide by means of budding. Some cells form conidiophores, each of which carries one conidium. A characteristic feature of the Entomophthorales is their ability to throw off ripe conidia with considerable force and for great distances. Entomophthorales can be parasites of insects, protozoans, and nematodes. Some live as saprophytes on dead insect tissue. The order embraces approximately 150 species, belonging to 28 genera. They are found throughout the world. Entomophthorales
entomophthoromycosis any disease in humans or other animals caused by fungi of the order entomophthorales" >entomophthorales; human infections usually occur in apparently physiologically and immunologically normal individuals, although opportunistic infections also occur.entomophthoromycosis basidio´bolae a chronic infection caused by Basidiobolus ranarum, in which gradually enlarging granulomas form in the subcutaneous tissues of the arms, chest, and trunk. Multiple purulent ulcers may develop; seen in children and adolescents in tropical areas of Indonesia, India, and Africa. Called also basidiobolomycosis.entomophthoromycosis conidio´bolae infection by Conidiobolus coronatus, a form of zygomycosis" >zygomycosis usually involving the nose and paranasal sinuses (rhinoentomophthoromycosis). Sometimes, especially in weak or immunocompromised patients, it can spread to the central nervous system and cause fatal rhinocerebral zygomycosis.Entomophthorales (en'tō-mof'thōr-al'ēz), An order of the fungal class Zygomycetes. The genera include Conidiobolus, which causes a chronic granulomatous inflammation of a nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa (conidiobolomycosis) and Basidiobolus, which causes a chronic subcutaneous granuloma (basidiobolomycosis). When conidiobolomycosis and basidiobolomycosis are considered together, they are called entomophthoramycosis.En·to·moph·thor·al·es (en-tō-mof'thō-rā'lēz) An order of the fungal class Zygomycetes.
