Conidiobolus coronatus is a saprotrophic fungus,[1] first described by Costantin in 1897 as Boudierella coronata.[2] Though this fungus has also been known by the name Entomophthora coronata, the correct name is Conidiobolus coronatus.[3] C. coronatus is able to infect humans and animals, and the first human infection with C. coronatus was reported in Jamaica in 1965.[4]
