Fungal Infections of Implantation (Subcutaneous Mycoses), 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Implantation or inoculation mycoses are a heterogeneous group of fungal diseases with subacute to chronic manifestations starting at the site of the inoculation of pathogenic fungi that gain entrance into the body through several types of transepithelial traumas. They are also known as “subcutaneous mycoses”, though this term seems to be imprecise as some of the implantation mycoses may also involve sites beyond the skin and the subcutaneous tissues (e.g., muscle, fascia, cartilage, and bone). In the immunocompromised host, some implantation mycoses may spread from a cutaneous port of entry to internal organs and disseminate.

Implantation mycoses are distributed worldwide, causing endemic mycoses in tropical and subtropical zones like sporotrichosis, eumycetoma, chromoblastomycosis, lobomycosis, and entomophthoromycosis, as well asglobal fungal infections like fungal keratitis, phaeohyphomycosis, mucormycosis, scedosporiosis, fusariosis, etc.

Implantation fungal infections may be the cause of significant mobility and mortality rates in immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts worldwide. Several implantation mycoses are also of veterinary interest, affecting different animals around the world, from cats to fish.

This Special Issue of the Journal of Fungi will publish peer-reviewed manuscripts related to implantation mycoses of human and veterinary relevance.
