Lacazia loboi and Rhinosporidium seeberi: a genomic perspective.
In the past five years, with the use of molecular strategies the phylogenetic affinities of the two more resilient pathogens studied in medical mycology, Lacazia loboi and Rhinosporidium seeberi were finally deciphered. These studies found that L. loboi was the sister taxon to Paraccidioides brasiliensis, and R. seeberi was closely related to protistan spherical aquatic fish pathogens, located ...
متن کاملThe taxonomy and phylogenetics of the human and animal pathogen Rhinosporidium seeberi: a critical review.
Rhinosporidum seeberi is the etiologic agent of rhinosporidiosis, a disease of mucous membranes and infrequent of the skin and other tissues of humans and animals. Because it resists culture, for more than 100 years true taxonomic identity of R. seeberi has been controversial. Three hypotheses in a long list of related views have been recently introduced: 1) a prokaryote cyanobacterium in the g...
متن کاملSequence analysis of 16S rRNA gene inRhinosporidium seeberi shows similarity to plant chloroplast DNA
UNLABELLED Identity of causative agent of rhinosporidiosis (Rhinosporidium seeberi) has been controversial since the disease was described in 1900. Extensive sequence alignments and phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene detected recently by us in R. seeberi , revealed 99% similarity with 16S rDNA in chloroplasts of flowering plants. Study demonstrates R. seeberi is a pigmented prokaryote displ...
متن کاملOcular Rhinosporidium granuloma masquerading as Conjunctival Hemangioma: a Case Report
Bawana Raina, Mega Lahori*, Arvind Khajuria Department of Pathology, Acharya Shri Chander College of Medical Sciences, Jammu, India Ocular rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous infection caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, a protistal microorganism endemic in the hot, tropical climes of India and Sri Lanka. It often presents as a friable, vascular conjunctival polyp but may mimic other ocul...
متن کاملRhinosporidiosis presenting as an urethral polyp.
Rhinosporidiosis is an inflammatory disease caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, a protoctistan mesomycetozoa, member of a group of novel aquatic parasites, characterized by hyperplastic polypoid lesions of the nasal cavity and rarely other mucous membranes. We report an unusual presentation of rhinosporidiosis as an urethral polyp, which is only the second case of rhinosporidiosis reported from P...
