First genetic identification of Pilobolus (Mucoromycotina, Mucorales) from Africa (Nairobi National Park, Kenya)

2017-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Pilobolus are abundant in herbivore dung. Although they are non-pathogenic to herbivores, they are vectors to lungworms present in the dung that cause bronchitis if ingested. Thus, determining the presence of Pilobolus in the field might prove useful to assess a link between Pilobolus and lungworm infections, as well as the areas where they occur. Species identification within the genus has mostly relied on morpho...
