disease in the tropics. This paper reports the isolation of the
organism from natural substrates and describes their
pathogenicity. Basiodibolus spp were recovered from faecal
samples of amphibians, reptiles and macropods, from woodlice and
from granulomatous skin lesions of horses. Some i'sailates were
heat-tolerant. Almost all of the heat-tolerant isolates were
pathogenic to suckling mice and had smooth or undulate or smooth
plus undulate zygospore walls. When inoculated intracerebrally
they caused encephalomalacia, necrosis, meningoencephalitis,
congestion, haemorrhage and a granulomatous reaction in the
central nervous tissue, hydrocephalus and nervous signs.
Pathogenic isolates were recovered from certain amphibians,
reptiles, macropods, woodlice, and a granulomatous skin lesion of
a horse. There was a variety of animal sources of pathogenic
strains of the organism widely distributed in the sampling area,
thus the potential hazard of pathogenic infection could be more
serious than previously considered  aARTVET1861  aARTVET1861
