Abstract: The human mutilating disease chromoblastomycosis is caused by melanized members of the order Chaetothyriales. To assess population diversity among 123 clinical strains of agents of the disease in Brazil we applied sequencing of the rDNA internal transcribed spacer region, and partial cell division cycle and β-tubulin genes. Strains studied were limited to three clusters divided over the single family Herpotrichiellaceae known to comprise agents of the disease. A Fonsecaea cluster contained the most important a… Show more

“…Rhinocladiella is a genus of melanized fungi that can cause chromoblastomycosis. This order contains several clinically relevant species of the genera Exophialia, Cladophialophora, Fonsecaea, and Phialophora, which are possible etiologic agents of chromoblastomycosis and/or phaeohyphomycosis [3,4].…”
