Nannizziopsis arthrosporioides infection mimicking ophidiomycosis in ball pythons (Python regius)

mycolabadmin

A wild-caught boa snake developed severe skin lesions caused by a fungus called Nannizziopsis arthrosporioides. Within a week, six ball pythons housed nearby developed similar skin infections. Using DNA testing and microscopy, researchers confirmed this was the first documented case of this fungus infecting snakes, demonstrating how quickly fungal infections can spread between animals in shared environments.

Onygenales from marine sediments: diversity, novel taxa, global distribution, and adaptability to the marine environment

Researchers discovered 22 different species of fungi living in marine sediments off the coast of Spain, including 6 previously unknown species. These fungi have special adaptations allowing them to survive in salty seawater and break down complex organic materials. The findings expand our understanding of fungal life in ocean environments and reveal how these organisms contribute to marine nutrient cycles.

Researchers discovered and identified diverse fungi called Onygenales living in marine sediments along the Spanish coast. These fungi can survive in salty ocean water and break down various organic materials including plant cellulose. The study identified several new fungal species never before known to science, showing that marine environments harbor much greater fungal diversity than previously recognized.
