Fusarium moniliforme has been reported as an agent of cutaneous disease in man], as a new agent of mycetoma in Europe , as an agent of keratitis , septic arthritis , and disseminated infections in a patients with malignant lymphoma, and acute lymphocytic leukemia patient. A deep mycoses was reported under the name F. verticilloides . It has also been cited as an agent of mycotic pneumonia in an alligator . Fusarium moniliforme differs from the two most common species, F. solani and F. oxysporum, by forming microconidia in chains, and from F. proliferatum, by lacking polyphialides (phialides with more than one opening not delimited by a septum). Fusarium moniliforme is one of the most prevalent fungi associated with basic human and animal dietary samples such as corn. This fungus has been suspected of being involved in human and animal diseases since its original description. Fusarium moniliforme is in the section Liseola along with F. proliferatum, F. subglutinans, and F. anthophilum. Cultural mutation often occurs when F. moniliforme is grown on a medium rich in carbohydrates. Mutants may be either the mycelial or pionnotal type and often lose virulence and the ability to produce toxins. Toxins produced by F. moniliforme are fusaric acid, fusarins, gibberellins, moniliformin, and fumonisins.
