Lacazia loboi gen. nov., comb. nov., the Etiologic Agent of Lobomycosis

Paulo R. Taborda,1 Valeria A. Taborda,1 and Michael R. McGinnis2,*

Instituto L. S. Lima, São Paulo, Brazil 17001-970,1 and Medical Mycology Research Center, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, Texas 77555-06092

Received 14 October 1998/Returned for modification 26 December 1998/Accepted 4 March 1999

The new genus Lacazia P. Taborda, V. Taborda, et McGinnis is proposed to accommodate Lacazia loboi (O. M. Fonseca et Lacaz) P. Taborda, V. Taborda, et McGinnis, the obligate pathogen that causes lobomycosis in mammals. The continued placement of that fungus in the genus Paracoccidioides Almeida as Paracoccidioides loboi is taxonomically inappropriate. Loboa loboi Ciferri et al. is a synonym of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.
