FRAGNER P., KULHÁNKOVÁ J., LUKÁŠOVÁ M. (1983): Cerebral mucormycosis caused by Mucor pusillus.  Česká Mykologie 37(2): 90-92   (published: 1983)
  abstract   In a woman with idiopathic atrophy of bone marrow, mucormycosis developed after treatment of dental pulpitis and periodontitis. The infection spread to the paranasal sinuses, orbit, and brain. Typical filaments of zygomycetes were found in histological sections, and Mucor pusillus Lindt was identified in cultures. This is the first human systemic mycosis in Czechoslovakia with cultivated Mucor pusillus.

FRAGNER P., VÍTOVEC J., VLADÍK P. (1975): Mucor pusillus as a causative agent of nodose mucormycosis in a young bull.  Česká Mykologie 29(1): 59-60   (published: 1975)
  abstract   A case of nodose mucormycosis caused by Mucor pusillus was diagnosed in a six-month-old bull slaughtered due to chronic health issues. The mediastinal lymph nodes showed extensive caseous necroses. Histopathology confirmed the infection, and cultures yielded the causative agent. This represents the first reported case of its kind in Czechoslovakia.

NOVÁKOVÁ A., KUBÁTOVÁ A., SKLENÁŘ F., HUBKA V. (2018): Microscopic fungi on cadavers and skeletons from cave and mine environments   [European caves, abandoned mines, dead bodies, bones, mammals, frogs, spiders, isopods, micromycetes]  Czech Mycology 70(2): 101-121   (published: 19th August, 2018)
  abstract   During long-term studies of microscopic fungi in 80 European caves and mine environments many cadavers and skeletons of animals inhabiting these environments and various animal visitors were found, some of them with visible microfungal growth. Direct isolation, the dilution plate method and various types of isolation media were used. The resulting spectrum of isolated fungi is presented and compared with records about their previous isolation. Compared to former studies focused mainly on bat mycobiota, this paper contributes to a wider knowledge of fungal assemblages colonising various animal bodies in underground environments.The most interesting findings include ascocarps of Acaulium caviariforme found abundant on mammals cadavers, while Botryosporium longibrachiatum isolated from frogs, Chaetocladium jonesiae from bats and Penicillium vulpinum from spiders represent the first records of these species from cadavers or skeletons.

UDAYA PRAKASH N.K., VITTAL B.P.R. (2003): Aerometric study on thermophilous fungi in a farm house, Chennai.   [airborne fungi, Andersen 2-stagesampler, occupational environment, respirable fraction, India]  Czech Mycology 55(3-4): 253-259   (published: 22nd December, 2003)
  abstract   A survey on airborne thermophilous fungi at a farmhouse in Chennai, India was made using an Andersen 2-stage viable sampler for the period from January 1997 to December 1997 at fortnight intervals. A total of 582 colonies belonging to 17 species were recorded. The species Emericella nidulans was dominant with an average of 60.2 CFU/m³ of air followed by Aspergillus fumigatus and Thermomyces lanuginosus with 34.7 CFU/m³ of air and 32.2 CFU/m³ of air, respectively. The total respirable fraction recorded was 58.4 %.

GHERBAWY Y.A.M.H., PRILLINGER H. (2000): Root mycoflora of pepper (Capsicum annuum) antagonistic to Verticillium dahliae.   [Frequency of root fungi, Verticillium dahliae, Chaetomium globosum, Gliocladium roseum, Myrothecium verrucaria, Trichoderma harzianum, pepper seed germination]  Czech Mycology 52(3): 219-226   (published: 7th December, 2000)
  abstract   Thirty-two species belonging to 19 genera of fungi were collected from 30 soil samples from the rhizosphere of pepper plants. The fungal colonies were characterised using classical morphological methods following identification keys. The most frequently isolated fungi were Chaetomiumglobosum, Fusarium oxysporum, Gliocladium roseum, Mucor racemosus, Myrothecium verrucaria, Penicillium aurantiogriseum, P. expansum and Trichoderma harzianum. The crude culture filtrate of Verticillium dahliae at 100% concentration caused sharp decrease in pepper seed germination. Chaetomium globosum, Gliocladium roseum, Myrothecium verrucaria, and Trichoderma harzianum produced a metabolite that retarded radial growth of Verticillium dahliae.

KAUFMAN L. (1995): Merits and limitations of immunodiagnostic assays for systemic mycoses.   [Systemic mycoses, immunodiagnostic tests, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, candidiasis, histoplasmosis]  Czech Mycology 48(1): 21-29   (published: 16th May, 1995)
  abstract   The incidence of systemic fungal diseases has increased significantly over the last decade. During that time considerable work has been done on isolating and characterizing new antigens and developing technology. However, few new immunodiagnostic tests for the mycoses have come into routine use. Most of the currently used immunodiagnostic tests are designed to detect antibodies to specific fungal pathogens. These tests, though far from optimal, have proved useful for diagnosing aspergillosis, blastomycosis, candidiasis, histoplasmosis and other mycotic infections mainly in the immunocompetent host. They may, however, exhibit cross-reactivity, and fail to distinguish active form past infection, and colonization from invasive disease. More recently, attention has been devoted to developing antigen detection procedures. While such procedures have been successfully developed for cryptococcosis and histoplasmosis, those for the opportunistic mycoses, i.e. aspergillosis and candidiasis have been generally unsatisfactory. Their insensitivity, resulting from the transient nature of the antigen(s) detected or failure to test for a battery of diagnostic antigens. To overcome these problems, current research has focused on the use of more purified antigens, monoclonal or adsorbed polyclonal antibodies, and the refinement or introduction more sensitive assays. An overview of the immunodiagnostic tests currently used, their value and shortcomings will be presented.

ŠIMONOVIČOVÁ A. (1992): Microfungal community structure in forest soils of North Slovakia. II. Similarity of mykocenosis (Krížna, Koprová and Furkotská Vallies).  Česká Mykologie 46(1-2): 106-113   (published: 1st April, 1993)
  abstract   On five localities in vallies Krížna, Koprová and Furkotská (High Tatra Mts.) we investigated the species structure of soil microscopic fungi and the similarity of mycocenosis. The arenic podzol and podzolic ranker soils were studied. The soils had low to very low acid reaction and very low content of organic matter. In the global number of isolated soil microscopic fungi species (48), the cosmopolitan genus Penicillium of the family Moniliaceae was dominantly represented. The species of the family Mucoraceae were suppressed as the result of the soil quality decreasing, which reflects the degradation of the quality of the whole environment in High Tatra Mts. The highest index of similarity – S = 0.6 – was proved between the localities in the neighboring vallies.

ŠIMONOVIČOVÁ A. (1992): Microfungal community structure in forest soil of North Slovakia. I. Similarity of mykocenosis (The Valley Tichá).  Česká Mykologie 46(1-2): 99-105   (published: 1st April, 1993)
  abstract   Microfungal community structure in four forest localities in the Valley Tichá in the High Tatra Mountains was studied. Podzolic and ranker soils are poor in organic matter, physically and chemically unfavourable. The pH values are lower – by 1.0 to 1.5 – than values in 1962, which means that the quality of the soils has degraded. These differences correspond with the quality of mycocenosis, which has also worsened. 41 species of soil micromycetes were isolated. The occurrence of the representatives of the genus Penicillium (fam. Moniliaceae) was the highest. The occurrence of the representatives of the family Mucoraceae was suppressed. The similarity of the neighbouring mycocenoses was higher than that of those more distant from each other.

FRAGNER P., MIŘEJOVSKÝ P., LUKÁŠOVÁ M. (1985): Stomatomaxillary and rhinoorbital absidiosis.  Česká Mykologie 39(3): 150-154   (published: 1985)
  abstract   Cranial mucormycosis occurred in a 20-year-old man suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Absidia corymbifera was proved by cultivation of nasal smears. Mycosis was influenced quickly by Amphotericin B administered intravenously in spite of the fatal basic condition. Post mortem Absidia corymbifera was proved by cultivation and histology in gangrenous nasal and paranasal mucosa.

STANĚK M. (1984): Microorganisms in the hyphosphere of fungi. I. Introduction.  Česká Mykologie 38(1): 1-10   (published: 10th February, 1984)
  abstract   The surface and immediate surroundings of fungal hyphae affected by their activity is termed the „hyphosphere“. Differences between microorganisms colonizing the hyphosphere and those colonizing a substrate is termed „hyphosphere effect“. The more extensive area of fungal effect on substrate, on the surface and surroundings of fruit-bodies, i.e. the environment affected by the activity of fungi is termed „mycosphere“. The nomenclature proposed is in agreement with the classification of the phytosphere of higher plants. The brief literary survey presents data on incidence of microorganisms in hyphosphere and on their importance, taking into account the results obtained in the Czechoslovak research institutions.

HUBÁLEK Z. (1981): A systematic survey of dimorphic and polymorphic fungi.  Česká Mykologie 35(4): 209-226   (published: 1981)
  abstract   Various definitions of the term dimorphism in fungi are briefly discussed and a general concept is given with a suggested morphological classification of the dimorphism. Dimorphism (and polymorphism) is delimited as an environmentally controlled reversible phenotypic duality (or plurality in the case of polymorphism) in the morphogenesis of the vegetative fungal cells, which is not restricted to pathogenic species and to the mycelial-yeast transitions only. A systematic list and an alphabetical index of the fungi exhibiting the phenomena of cellular dimorphism or polymorphism are presented.

FRAGNER P., HEJZLAR J., RUBEŠ M. (1979): Otomycoses and mycoflora of otitides.  Česká Mykologie 33(4): 229-236   (published: 1979)
  abstract   With one third of the patients suffering from otitis there occur microscopic fungi in the ear swabs, but they can be considered agents of the disease in approximately one half of the positive findings only. During the last 15 years, fungi were cultivated from the ear swabs of 472 patients with various ear diseases, mostly otitis externa. The most frequent yeasts in otomycoses were Candida parapsilosis and C. albicans, while the most frequent Aspergillus species were A. fumigatus, A. flavus, and A. niger. Clinical pictures and treatment of some external otitides are briefly mentioned.
