Conidiobolus
''Conidiobolus'' is a genus of fungi in order Entomophthorales. Some species were defined in ''Conidiobolus'' but then moved into other genera such as ''Capillidium'' and ''Batkoa''. This genus can cause a human infection known as conidiobolomycosis. Species There are 54 species of ''Conidiobolus''. *''Conidiobolus adieretus'' Drechsler, 1953 (= '' Capillidium adiaeretum'' (Drechsler) B. Huang & Y. Nie (2020)) *'' Conidiobolus antarcticus'' S.

Conidiobolomycosis
Conidiobolomycosis is a rare long-term fungal infection that is typically found just under the skin of the nose, sinuses, cheeks and upper lips. It may present with a nose bleed or a blocked or runny nose. Typically there is a firm painless swelling which can slowly extend to the nasal bridge and eyes, sometimes causing facial disfigurement. Most cases are caused by ''Conidiobolus coronatus'', a fungus found in soil and in the environment in general, which can infect healthy people. It is usually acquired by inhaling the spores of the fungus, but can be by direct infection through a cut in the skin such as an insect bite. The extent of disease may be seen using medical imaging such as CT scanning of the nose and sinus. Diagnosis may be confirmed by biopsy, microscopy, culture and histopathology. Treatment is with long courses of antifungals and sometimes cutting out infected tissue. The condition has a good response to antifungal treatment, but can recur. The infecti ...
