Feline Phaeohyphomycotic Cerebellitis Caused by Cladosporium cladosporioides-complex: Case Report and Review of Literature

Novel Botrytis and Cladosporium Species Associated with Flower Diseases of Macadamia in Australia

“…Cladosporium spp. are well-known as plant pathogens [19,[24][25][26], and some can cause animal and human diseases [27][28][29]. Some pathogenic isolates of Cladosporium may have been wrongly classified as saprophytes, emphasizing the importance of the phylogenetic relationships for the identification of specialized lineages and cryptic species [24,28,30].…”

Retrospective study of phaeohyphomycosis in aquarium‐housed fish, with first descriptions of Exophiala lecanii‐corni and Neodevriesia cladophorae in fish

“…Novel and known pigmented fungi are increasingly implicated worldwide in diseases affecting a wide diversity of hosts including invertebrates (Boeger et al., 2007; Van Dover et al., 2007; Vicente et al., 2012), fish (Faisal et al., 2007; Khoo, 2000; Nyaoke et al., 2009; Steckler et al., 2014), reptiles (Donnelly et al., 2015; Joyner et al., 2006; Manharth et al., 2005; Olias et al., 2010), amphibians (Seilern‐Moy et al., 2019), birds (Blalock et al., 1973; Randall et al., 1981) and mammals (Sidrim et al., 2015; Strzok et al., 2019; Velázquez‐Jiménez et al., 2019), including humans (Revankar & Sutton, 2010). The term “phaeohyphomycosis” incorporates localized or systemic disease caused by dematiaceous fungi.…”

“…In mammals, phaeohyphomycoses are commonly cutaneous, subcutaneous, upper respiratory or primary cerebral infections (More et al., 2019; Revankar et al., 2004; Seyedmousavi et al., 2013). Though the predilection for nervous tissue is poorly understood, numerous important cerebral phaeohyphomycoses are reported in humans, dogs, cats, horses, cattle, alpacas and birds (Balducci et al., 2020; Blalock et al., 1973; Frank et al., 2011; Plumlee et al., 2017; Randall et al., 1981; Revankar et al., 2004; Russell et al., 2016; Salkin et al., 1990; Seyedmousavi et al., 2013; Velázquez‐Jiménez et al., 2019).…”

Isobolographic<i> in vitro</i> interactions of fluconazole with citrus essential oils against <i>Cladosporium cladosporioides</i>

“…Often, an orally administered azole drug, e.g. fluconazole, itraconazole) is used as an antifungal drug, which has successfully treated many patients, especially those with immunodeficiency [13,16].…”
