Mission Statement

Our mission is to continue collecting zygomycosis cases in our registry, to provide information about various aspects of this rare disease and to enhance the collaboration of physicians and researchers from all over the world.

Achievements of the working group in 2023

The number of submitted cases is 402. The countries which have submitted cases are Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Czech Republic, Greece, India, Iran, Italy, Lebanon, Netherlands, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Switzerland, United Kingdom, USA and Argentina. The countries with largest number of cases are India and Russia.

We held a meeting during TIMM in Athens, 2023. We made plans to restructure our website.

We have some problems with our finances. The old grant by Gilead is considered expired by ECMM. New sponsorship is required. Nevertheless, new cases are being submitted.

Upcoming events planned for 2024-2025

A new project analyzing mucormycosis in children with malignancies. A Forum on zygomycosis may take place in 2025 if we find the necessary funds.
