The occurrence of keratinophilic fungus Lagenidium humanum Karling was investigated, using the bait method, in relation to the environmental conditions in the surface waters of the River Bug, Supraśl and Zwierzyniec in Podlasie in the years 1995-2000. The fungus was found to be the most common at eutrophized sites of the River Supraśl and Biała, and snake exuviae was the most frequently colonized bait. It was revealed that the occurrence of Lagenidium humanum in the water reservoirs was mostly affected by the content of biogenes, suspended solids, oxidability and temperature. Its appearance was seasonal, being most common in spring and autumn.

The oomycete genus , which includes the mosquito biocontrol agent , is composed of animal pathogens, yet is phylogenetically closely related to the well characterized plant pathogens and spp. These phylogenetic affinities were further supported by the identification of canonical oomycete effectors in the transcriptome. In this study, culture-independent, metabarcoding analyses aimed at detecting in bromeliad phytotelmata (a proven mosquito breeding ground) microbiomes were performed.

The report of four novel mammalian pathogenic species of the genus Lagenidium prompted us to study the use of biochemical assays to differentiate the Oomycota mammalian pathogens Pythium insidiosum and Lagenidium spp. We investigated the reaction of 23 Lagenidium and eight Pythium species in various biochemical assays. Because the morphological features of the Oomycota species are similar to those of species in the Entomophthoramycota and Mucormycota, five fungal species with coenocytic hyphae were also included.
