Background: Rhinofacial zygomycosis is the infection of subcutaneous tissues of maxillofacial region caused by zygomycetes class of fungi. It is commonly caused by the order mucorales and is acute and fulminant. Infections by the order entomophthorales are rare but indolent. Case report: We report an unusual case of rhinofacial zygo­ mycosis due to Conidiobolus coronatus of the order Entomo­ ph...

Signals are important for species recognition. In this study, I examined the acoustic structure of loud calls (“Tchi-faks”) in two populations of closely related lemur species in Madagascar, the Decken’s and crowned sifakas (Propithecus deckenii and P. coronatus). Both populations exhibited a strong individual signature in the acoustic structure of Tchi-faks. Furthermore, Tchifaks clearly diffe...

Abstract In the present study, we reconstruct phylogenetic relationships within chromosomally variable Sorex araneus species group based on 20 nuclear loci and mitochondrial cyt b gene. tree, Nearctic S. arcticus represents earliest offshoot of followed by Holarctic tundrensis Siberian daphaenodon . Five other distributed mostly in Europe form a well‐supported clade. Coding regions showed stron...

Rhinoentomophthoramycosis caused by Conidiobolus coronatus in a 61-year old woman was unsuccessfully treated during 8 years with all the antifungals available in the Brazilian market, including potassium iodide for 1 month, sulfamethoxazole plus trimethoprim for 2 months, amphotericin B, total dose of 1130 mg, cetoconazole, 400 mg/day for 6 months, fluconazole, 200 mg/day, for at least 2 months...
