“…Fungi belonging to the genus Acremonium are known to cause mycotic infections both in humans, where they are responsible for mycetomas (Avram, 1964;Guarro et al, 1997), keratitis (Badillet et al, 1992) and systemic mycotic infections, and in domestic animals. In cattle, they can cause mastitis (Mehrotra & Ravat, 1989) and abortion (Dion & Dukes, 1979), and they have been found in the preputial hollow of prolific bulls (Cantini et al, 1961).…”
