First case report on pathogenic fungus Fonsecaea sp. Negroni from skin of Pelophylax kl. esculentus L. in Serbia
Non-harmful adhesive tape method was applied directly on the skin surface of edible frog (Pelophylax kl. esculentus), captured in vernal ponds on the locality “Stevanove ravnice” within the Special Nature Reserve „Deliblatska peščara“, in order to detect fungal dwellers of frogs’ skin. Ligh...

| description | Non-harmful adhesive tape method was applied directly on the skin surface of
edible frog (Pelophylax kl. esculentus), captured in vernal ponds on the
locality “Stevanove ravnice” within the Special Nature Reserve „Deliblatska
peščara“, in order to detect fungal dwellers of frogs’ skin. Light
microscopy analyses of Lactophenol Cotton Blue mounted adhesive tape samples
taken from frog’s ventrum revealed the presence of melanized septate hyphae,
branched conidiophores with chains of single-celled ovoid conidia, arising
directly from the skin, which corresponds to morphological features of
dematiaceous hyphomycete - Fonsecaea sp. Since members of genus Fonsecaea
are frequently cited as causative agents of chromomycosis in amphibians, as
well as human phaeohyphomycosis, worldwide, it is of great significance to
study the presence of this fungal pathogen on amphibians in Serbia in order
to make the basic reference data of the incidence of these pathogens in this
region. [Project of the Serbian Ministry of Education, Science and
