Basidiobolus haptosporus belongs to the Kingdom Fungi and is a member of a grouping known as the "zygomycetes". This classification comprises two Phyla- the Mucoromycota and the Zoopagomycota, which are characterized by the production of sexual zygospores and suspensor cells. B. haptosporus is a filamentous fungus with distribution concentrated in Tropical and Subtropical regions.[1] This fungus is largely associated with the gastrointestinal tract of amphibians and reptiles but has also been reported on mite bristles.[2][3] B. haptosporus has caused disease in humans as well, including Gastrointestinal entomophthoromycosis and subcutaneous phycomycosis.[4][2][3] Closely related species include Basidiobolus ranarum, B. meristosporus, B. microsporus, and B. magnus.
