ABSTRACT

Numerous species of Entomophthorales cause disease in animals, including insects and other lower animals, but few are documented as causing disease in humans. Basidiobolus ranarum Eidam (=B. haptosporus Drechsler), B. incongruus Drechsler, and Conidiobolus coronatus (Costanin) Batko are the recorded agents of disease in humans (1-3).
