STUCHLÍK D., MENCL K., HUBKA V., SKOŘEPOVÁ M. (2011): Fungal melanonychia caused by Onychocola canadensis: first records of nail infections due to Onychocola in the Czech Republic.   [onychomycosis, Arachnomyces nodosetosus, fungal infection, elderly people, soil fungi]  Czech Mycology 63(1): 83-91   (published: 10th August, 2011)
  abstract   Onychocola canadensis is a non-dermatophyte filamentous fungus with an unusual ecology. Hitherto, O. canadensis has been isolated only from human nails and skin, although attempts to isolate it from the environment have been unsuccessful. We describe two new cases of onychomycosis caused by O. canadensis with dissimilar clinical appearance. The first infection manifested itself as distal and lateral onycholysis with conspicuous black pigmentation. As far as we know, this is the first description of O. canadensis onychomycosis in the Czech Republic. In connection with this case, the authors emphasise the importance of mycological laboratory examination of dark nail lesions. Based on photodocumentation, a second case of onychomycosis due to O. canadensis was identified retrospectively.This case manifested itself as distal and lateral subungual onychomycosis with yellow discoloration, which is more typical of O. canadensis onychomycosis. Morphological characteristics important for discrimination of O. canadensis from other medically important fungi are discussed.

Abstracts of the International Workshop “ONYGENALES 2020: Basic and Clinical Research Advances in Dermatophytes and Dimorphic Fungi”.  Czech Mycology 72(2): 163-198   (published: 10th September, 2020)
  abstract   The ONYGENALES workshop is a bi-annual meeting organised by ISHAM Working Group ONYGENALES (onygenales.org). It brings together researchers, students, clinicians, laboratorians and public health professionals across biomedical disciplines, who are interested in current developments in dermatophyte, dimorphic and keratinophilic fungi research. The abstracts are arranged according to the thematic sessions as they appeared in the programme: Session 1: Antifungal resistance and susceptibility testing, Session 2: Taxonomy of keratinophilic and dimorphic fungi, Session 3: Taxonomy of dermatophytes, Session 4: Population genetics and genomics, Session 5: Emerging and zoonotic pathogens, Session 6: Epidemiology, Session 7: Diagnostics and treatment approaches, Session 8: Virulence factors and pathogenesis
