Abstract
One of the gaps in knowledge concerning diversity of fungi in Iraq is checklists and documentation of fungal data. For a country like Iraq no updated checklists of fungi at all or any mycological bibliographic studies up till now. We decided in our newly born Iraqi Mycologists’ Network to start a long road for documentation of fungi in Iraq by all available means. By screening of available sources of information (websites, dissertations, theses, journals), it was possible to figure out a range of four hundred and fifty-five articles published since 1962 in Iraq collected from various sources all dealing with some phase of medical mycology. The value of this bibliography to students, researchers and medical mycologists in Iraq and world-wide in this field is self-evident. It should be mentioned here that, although the present study will add some new data to our information concerning medical mycology in Iraq; it must be considered as a provisional one always waiting for continuous supplementation.
Highlights
Information about medical mycology in Iraq are very huge but never been the target of any bibliographic studies before in which this one considered the pioneer
Based on the data collected from previous studies as well as information obtained from web sites, dissertations, published papers, patents, textbooks and compilations of medical mycology in Iraq previously introduced by several investigators it can be deduced that the number of references of medical mycology in Iraq up to the present time is nearly about 455
It should be mentioned here that, the present study will add some new references to our information concerning medical mycology in Iraq, this bibliography can be considered as a provisional one that needs continuous supplementation
