Abstract

The three species of the Entomophthorales that are known to cause human disease are Basidiobolus haptosporus, Conidiobolus coronatus, and C. incongruus. A brief characterization of the Entomophthorales provides a basis for understanding their broader relationships. Although B. haptosporus is generally considered to be the sole etiologic species of the genus, further work is necessary fully to elucidate the taxonomy within the genus. The systematics and biology of the ubiquitous C. coronatus have played a key role in separating the genera Entomophthora and Conidiobolus. Sporulation can present problems in identifying the three etiologic agents.
