Nomenclature of fungal diseases: a report and recommendations from a Sub-Committee of the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM).

چکیده
The ISHAM Mycoses Nomenclature Committee has considered the present status of fungal disease names. It suggests that the traditional approach to mycoses nomenclature in which the name of a causative taxon is suffixed with '-asis', '-iasis', '-osis' or '-mycosis' leads to names that are frequently unstable with respect to subsequent taxonomic and clinico-epidemiological changes. It is therefore recommended that individual mycoses should be named as often as possible in the form 'pathology A due to/caused by fungus X' or '[adjectival] fungus X pathology A' in preference to construction of names based solely on fungal taxa. A list of recommended mycosis names retained for their long tradition or intrinsic convenience is provided, together with a combined index and list of rejected names.
