Mycoses in red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) caused by two deuteromycete fungi (Penicillium corylophilum and Cladosporium sphaerospermum)

Antifungal and other Biological Activities from Oudemansiella Canarii(Basidiomycota)

“…Our results showed that oudemansin A exhibits high antifungal activity against C. sphaerospermum with a MIC of 1.25 lg/spot. Although this fungus is pathogenic to plants (Blaylock et al 2001) and other organisms (Sterflinger et al 2001) it is used in the bioautographic assay as a generic system to detect antifungal compounds (Homans & Fuchs 1970).…”

Epizootics and Disease of Coral Reef Fish in the Tropical Western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico

“…As such, it is unlikely that Aphanomyces invadans plays a role in fish mortalities on coral reefs where salinities are consistently >30 ppt. However, Blaylock et al (2001) found mycoses in wild caught red snapper Lutjanus campechanus caused by two deuteromycete fungi, Penicillium corylophilum and Cladosporium sphaerospermum. Both are generally considered soil organisms but have been documented to invade both aquatic and marine habitats and both were found to cause disease in red snapper.…”

Diseases and Mortalities of Fishes and Other Animals in The Gulf of Mexico

“…The infection, which was not systemic, was presumably acquired when the inflated swim bladder was deflated with a hypodermic needle after the fish was rapidly raised up from relatively deep water. When cultured fungi were injected into the non-related Gulf killifish, no infection was apparent after 1 month (Blaylock et al 2001). Figure 14.27.…”
