Rhizopus cohnii Berlese et De Toni was microscopically and culturally confirmed in a pig liver. This is, to the authors' knowledge, the first such case in Czechoslovakia and perhaps only the second globally. The pathological, histological, and mycological findings are detailed. The authors support Boedijn’s view that similar species like R. suinus, R. arrhizus, and R. oryzae are conspecific with R. cohnii. The paper also summarizes previous cases of mucormycosis in animals and humans, and compares the isolate with related taxa.
