Description of three novel Lagenidium (Oomycota) species causing infection in mammals
No full textBACKGROUND: Recent molecular phylogenetic analysis of Lagenidium strains recovered from subcutaneous lesions in cats, dogs, and a human with lagenidiosis resolved into four clades, one of them was Lagenidium giganteum, but three others were novel. AIMS: Due to the recent increase in L. giganteum infections from mammals, we studied 21 Lagenidium strains isolated from dogs and a human available in our collection. METHODS: Molecular phylogenetic studies and phenotypic characteristics were used to characterize strains. RESULTS: We report the finding of three novel species, herein designated as: Lagenidium ajelloi, sp. nov., Lagenidium albertoi sp. nov, and Lagenidium vilelae sp. nov. Their morphological and growth features are also presented. CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed the presence of three novel Lagenidium species infecting mammals
