Phylogenetic analysis of Rhinosporidium seeberi's 18S small-subunit ribosomal DNA groups this pathogen among members of the protoctistan
Mesomycetozoa clade.
Rhinosporidiosis is caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi, an organism that was previously classified as a fungus but has been regrouped into the class
Mesomycetozoa (family Rhinosporideacae).
Phylogentic analysis of Rhinosporidum seeberi 18S small-subunit ribosomal DNA groups -this pathogen among members of protoctistan
Mesomycetozoa clade.
[5] classified this organism as
Mesomycetozoa which includes other fish and amphibian pathogens.
seeberi has led to its recent reclassification as a member of protozoan
Mesomycetozoa (1).
