*''Hyphomyces destruens''
*Opportunistic infection
**Associated with trauma
*Rare
*Caused by ''Penicillium, Beauveria, Acremonium, Fusarium, Paecilomyces''
*Infects both animals and humans
**Mainly affects horses
*Tropical and semi-tropical countries
*Progressive disease causing granulating and ulcerating lesions on the legs and lower body
**Lesions grow rapidly
**Cause extreme debility
*Occurs in water
**Most often seen in ponies with access to ponds
*Chemotactically attracted to horse hair
*Does not respond well to treatment
**Radical surgical excision the best method
**Experiemental vaccination treatment is currently underway and has shown promising results[[Category:Subcutaneous_Mycoses]]
