Lichtheimia corymbifera is a thermophilic fungus in the phylum Zygomycota. It normally lives as a saprotrophic mold, but can also be an opportunistic pathogen known to cause pulmonary, CNS, rhinocerebral, or cutaneous infections in animals and humans with impaired immunity.
Lufenuron is the active ingredient in the veterinary flea control medication Program, and one of the two active ingredients in the flea, heartworm, and anthelmintic medicine milbemycin oxime/lufenuron (Sentinel).

Phaeohyphomycosis is a diverse group of fungal infections, [6] caused by dematiaceous fungi whose morphologic characteristics in tissue include hyphae, yeast-like cells, or a combination of these. [7] It can be associated with an array of melanistic filamentous fungi including Alternaria species, [8] Exophiala jeanselmei, [9] and Rhinocladiella ...
Mannan, a component of the fungal cell wall, can also suppress immune responses, although the mechanism of action remains unknown. [11] Trichophyton rubrum infection has been associated with the induction of an id reaction in which an infection in one part of the body induces an immune response in the form of a sterile rash at a remote site.

A mature sporangium of a Mucor sp. fungus. Usually, zygomycosis is a disease of the skin, but can also occur in the sinuses or gastrointestinal tract.
