“…As reported by Alejandre-Castañeda et al, the deletion of the rhizoferrin encoding gene (rfs) resulted in decreased virulence of the cell-free supernatant and reduced virulence of the sporangiospores compared to the wild type (Alejandre-Castañeda et al, 2022). In 2019 and2021, Patiño-Medina et al conducted experiments to determine whether the medium on which sporangiospores of M. lusitanicus are produced would influence their virulence (Patiño-Medina et al, 2019b;Patiño-Medina et al, 2021). When yeast extract-peptone-glucose (YPG) medium was supplemented with native blood serum, the virulence of the sporangiospores increased, leading to an elevated mortality rate of C. elegans when compared to sporangiospores grown on standard YPG (Patiño-Medina et al, 2019b).…”

“…Additionally, they demonstrated that sporangiospores produced from rice showed similar rates of virulence against C. elegans . Using rice as a growth medium allowed for more cost-effective mass production of sporangiospores compared to YPG-medium ( Patiño-Medina et al., 2021 ).…”

Mucormycosis is still regarded a rare fungal infection, but the high incidences of COVID-associated cases in India and other countries have shown its potential threat to large patient cohorts. In addition, infections by these fast-growing fungi are often fatal and cause disfigurement, badly affecting patients’ lives. In advancing our understanding of pathogenicity factors involved in this disease, to enhance the diagnostic toolset and to evaluate novel treatment regimes, animal models are indispensable. As ethical and practical considerations typically favor the use of alternative model systems, this review provides an overview of alternative animal models employed for mucormycosis and discusses advantages and limitations of the respective model.
