Of the mycotic diseases affecting animals and
man, ringworm -first to be recognized and reported
The medical history of the disease is oldest, but
also the most voluminous.
1839, Lagenbeck, first demonstrated yeast like
fungus in thrush
1843, Robin named -Oidium albicans
1843, Gruby, named Microsporoum audouinii as a
causative agent of ringworm in children.
1845- Lebert –described favus- T schoenleinii
1881- infections in chicken – T gallinae
1894- in cattle –
1896 and 1897-in horse and dog-
1898- in horse-
1890, Zopf, named the fungus Monilia albicans
1899, Schenck, First report of sporotrichosis.
Rat is the first animal species reported to be infected.
1900, Seeber, described the causative agent of
Rhinosporidiosis.
1913, Zschokke, First animal case was reported in
horse
1923, Vogelsang and Ayyar & Rao in cattle
1926, Quinlan and DeKoch-in mules
1923, Berkhout renamed the monilia albicans to Candida
albicans
1928, Mucor pusillus was isolated from a nodule in
horse.
1892,
Posadas
reported
the
first
case
of
Coccidioidomycosis in man.-neoplastic skin lesion look
like protozoan coccidia
1941, Van Pernis-first recorded the skin testing in
humans for histoplasmosis
1918, Giltner reported first naturally occurring case
of Cocci-dioidomycosis in animals (cattle).
1906, S.T.Darling discovered the causative agent of
Histoplasmosis in Panama.
1894, Gilchrist, first described
Blastomycosis in a human.
1898- Gilchrist and Stokes named the B.dermatitidis
Also called Chicago disease
and
reported
1912, Meyer, blastomycosis in dogs.
1952, Holzworth, first reported Cryptococcosis in
cat.
1953, Seibold in dog
1894-95, Busse and Buschke reported first human
case of Cryptococcosis.
1905- Hansemann-first human meningitis case
Fresinus introduce the term Aspergillosis.
1815-Mayer and Emmert- discovered Aspergillosis
Raimond Sabouraud- Established mycology
Published medical mycology book- Lei-stegnes
Nannizzi- perfect stage of fungi.
P.A.Micheli- founder of mycology
Emmons – morphologically classified
dermatophytes.
Alma Whiffoin- discovered cycloheximides
Gold et al- Amphotericin B
Vanbrensberghem- hair bait media
Hazen ,Elizabath, Brown- Nystatin
Gentles - Griseofulvin
Humans probably started using mushrooms as food
in prehistoric times.
The start of the modern age of mycology begins
with Pier Antonio Micheli's 1737 publication of Nova
plantarum genera.
The
term
mycology
and
the
complementary mycologist were first used in 1836
by M.J..Berkeley.
1580- Giambattista della porta- publishes the
first observation of fungal spores.
1601- Clusius publishes Rariorum plantarum
historia, the first monograph written on fungi,
which described 105 species, in 47 genera.
Historical milestones
1588- Giambattista della Porta publishes the first
observation of fungal spores.
1601- Clusius publishes Rariorum plantarum historia, the
first monograph written on fungi, which described 105
species, in 47 genera.
1665- Robert Hooke, writing in micrographia, recognizes
the close connection between fungi and molds, and
provides the first illustrations of microfungi.
1671- Marcelo Malpighi described various molds, such
as Rhizopus, Mucor, Penicillium.
1673- Van Leeuwenhoek, in a letter to the Royal society
of London, describes the presence of the yeast S.
cervease in fermented beer, the first observation of
yeast cells.
1718- Pier Antonio Micheli performs a series of
experiments on the culture of agaric mushrooms and
molds from spores under a variety of environmental
conditions. The techniques he described become
standard for the next 125 years, until the development
of pur culture techniques and synthetic growing medias.
1729-Pier
Antonio
Micheli's
Nova
genera described 900 species of fungi.
1753-Carl Linnaeus' seminal work species plantarum is
published; it is the current starting point for fungal
nomenclature.
plantarum
1797–1815- Pierre Bulliard's Histroire des champignons
de la France is the first mycological book
1801- Carl Hendrik
Methodica Fungorum
Persoon
publishes
Synopsis
1807-Isaac-Bénédict Prévost makes the first observation
of motile spores zoospores from the sporangia of a
species of albugo.
1845- The parasitic fungus known as late blight
(Phytophthora infestans) devastates potao crops
in Ireland, causing massive economic and social
distress.
1852-Vittadini solidifies media with gelatine during
attempts to grow the culture of the muscardine
fungus Beauveria bassiana.
1866-German mycologist H.A. DeBary, in Morphologie
und Biologie der Pilze, Flecthen und Myxomyceten gives
a broad classification of the fungi.
1869-Jules Raulin elaborates the conditions required to
optimize the growth of Aspergillus niger, including the
effects of trace minearls on growth.
1877-A.B. Frank proposes the concept of symbiosis (a
relationship where both partners benefit) to describe the
association between the algal and fungal components in,
lichens
1885-A.B. Frank coins the term 'Mycorhiza' (later spelled
as mycorrhiza) for the fungus roots he found growing in
association with the roots of certain trees.
1896-Georg Klebs, working mostly with Saprolegina,
advances the field of fungal morphogenesis
1904-American
mycologist
Albert
Francis
Blakeslee discovers heterothallism, the phenomenon in
which sexual reproduction requires the involvement of
two different thalli.
1905-First version of "International Rules (Code) of
Botanical Nomenclature" (ICBN) is approved in Vienna.
1927-The red bread mold Neurospora is discovered by
American mycologists C.L. Shear and B.O. Dodge; it
later becomes a common test organism for studying the
principles of heredity.
1929Sir
Alexander
antibiotic penicillin.
Fleming
discovers
the
1932-Cambridge mycologist E.J.H. Corner elaborates
the idea of hyphal analysis, demonstrating that the
fruiting bodies of polypores were made up of three main
types of hyphae.
The use of hyphal structure as a microscopic character
later becomes standard practice in fungal classification.
1940-Chain, Florey and Heath undertake large-scale
production of penicillin.
1953- S.J. Hughes differentiates eight main sections
of
hypomycetes
on
the
basis
of condiophore and conidium development.
1982T-he starting point for fungal nomenclature is
moved from Fries (1821) and Persoon (1801) to
Linnaeus (1753).
