About the journal
The journal provides an international forum for original papers in English on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapy, prophylaxis, and epidemiology of fungal infectious diseases in humans and animals as well as on the biology of pathogenic fungi. Prominent mycoses of the skin have always been the domain of dermatology. Otorhinolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, and gynecologists are confronted with mycoses of the mucous membranes.
Medical mycology as part of medical microbiology is advancing rapidly. Effective therapeutic strategies are already available in chemotherapy and are being further developed. Their application requires reliable laboratory diagnostic techniques, which, in turn, result from mycological basic research. Opportunistic mycoses vary greatly in their clinical and pathological symptoms, because the underlying disease of a patient at risk decisively determines their symptomatology and progress. Therefore, case histories are highly informative. Short communications on mycological topics complete the original articles.The journal mycoses is, therefore, of interest to scientists in fundamental mycological research, mycological laboratory diagnosticians, clinicians in all fields, and veterinarians.

Instructions to Authors
Mycoses is dedicated to the publication of manuscripts on topics concerning medical or veterinary mycology. Studies on plant pathology or mycological papers on fungi not related to human or veterinary medicine do not lie within the scope of mycoses and will not be accepted.
Manuscripts
Three high-quality copies of the manuscript should be submitted to:
Professor Dr J M黮ler Brandelweg 24 D-79312 Emmendingen Germany
Production Editor
A disk of the manuscript should be enclosed. In this case the disk version and the hard copy version must match. Any word-processing format can be used, but desk-top publishing formats (Ventura, Pagemaker, QuarkXpress) must be avoided.
Manuscripts may be published as full length papers, brief communications or letters to the editor.
Authors should aim for a concise readable style. All acceptable material submitted for publication is reviewed by the editors who act on advice from independent referees.
Only papers submitted in English will be accepted (this does not exclude the Latin text required for the description of new species or genera). Spelling should follow the Concise Oxford Dictionary, and The Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors.
Papers must not have been accepted for publication elsewhere and once published become the copyright of Blackwell Science Ltd. No charge is made for publication but authors will be required to pay for extensive alterations to agreed papers at proof stage. Excessive alterations will not be allowed.
Text
Manuscripts should be submitted typed on one side only of A4 (210 x 297 mm) paper, double-spaced throughout and with ample margins of at least 2.5 cm. All pages must be numbered consecutively in the upper right-hand corner of each page. Starting with the title page as p.1, the pages should be numbered in the following order: title page, summary and key words, text, acknowledgements, references, tables, figure legends.
The following items should each start on a separate page.
Title Page
This should bear (1) the title in English and in German, (2) the names of all authors, (3) the institution of origin with a brief address, (4) a short title of not more than 45 characters (including spaces) to be used as a running head, (5) a list of up to six key words in English and German for indexing purposes, and (6) the full postal address (including telephone and facsimile numbers if available) of the corresponding author to whom page proofs will be sent.
Summary
Normally in less than 200 words (in both English and German) this should indicate clearly the scope and main conclusions of the paper.
The Text
Papers should be divided into sections headed (1) introduction, (2) materials and methods (or patients and methods/subjects and methods if human patients/subjects were used), (3) results, (4) discussion and (5) acknowledgements. Avoid an excess of sub-headings - two further divisions, if necessary, should be adequate.
The introduction should explain why the work was done and briefly introduce the scope and contents of the paper. Essential details should be included in materials and methods, including experimental design and statistical analysis. Results should be recorded in the past tense. The discussion should present the author's results in the broader context of other work on the subject. Acknowledgements should be as brief as possible.
References
All references must be cited in numerical order in the text following the Vancouver system. The numbers of references should appear in the text in brackets e.g. [1, 21 or [1-4]. If giving the names of authors in the text the following form should be used: Brown & Smith [1] or Brown et al. [2] if there are more than two authors. Unpublished observations and personal communications may be included in the text only.
The reference list should show the references in numerical order as they appear in the text. References should include the following: (1) authors (surname followed by initials), (2) year, (3) title of (a) article or (b) chapter, (4) editors (if a book), (5) title of (a) journal or (b) book, (6) volume number, (7) place of publication and name of publisher (if a book), and (8) first and last page numbers of (a) article or (b) chapter. Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the system adopted in Index Medicus.
The following format should be used.
Journal articles
(List all authors if six or fewer, list the first three then add et al. if there are seven or more).

Philadelphia: W. B. Saunders, pp. 457 472.
Work that has been submitted but not accepted for publication should not appear in the reference list but may appear in the text as unpublished observations. Work that has been accepted but not published should be included in the reference list stating the journal in which it is to appear followed by '(in press)' . Further details should be supplied as soon as possible.
Tables
These must be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals and typed on separate sheets carrying an appropriate legend and presented in a way that makes the table self-explanatory.
Numerical results should be expressed as means with the relevant standard errors and/or statistically significant differences, quoting probability levels (P-values). Three significant figures are usually sufficient for mean values and standard errors should be quoted two or three more decimals than the mean.
The only lines appearing in the table should be horizontal and all decimals should be aligned in columns.
The placement of all tables should be indicated in the text, being referred to as Table 1 or Tables 2 and 3.
Figures
Figures should be submitted as glossy black and white prints in duplicate and preferably with a transparent overlay for protection. The overlay should be used to indicate masking instructions, lettering or arrows. Figures should be numbered in sequence in Arabic numerals as they appear in the text. Each should bear the number, author's name and an arrow to indicate the top in soft pencil on the reverse. If figures have more than one part, each part should be labelled (preferably) in the top left-hand corner with lower-case letters in parentheses e.g. a figure with two parts would be labelled (a) and (b). In the text this should be referred to as Fig. 1a or Figs 2a, b.
Figures should be planned to fit the printed column, i.e. 8 cm wide for single column and 17 cm wide for double column.
Photographs can be up to twice the reproduction size and must be unmounted glossy prints showing good detail and moderate contrast.
Labels, lettering and symbols etc. must be professionally prepared, and should be uniform and large enough to be easily read when reduced (e.g. no less than 4mm high for a 50% reduction). Acceptable symbols for experimental points are , , , , , . The symbols + and ?will not be accepted.
Legends should be typed on a separate sheet and consist of a short title together with a brief explanatory paragraph. The legend must make the meaning of each figure understandable without further reference to the text.
The position of all figures should be indicated in the text and should be referred to as Fig. 1 or Figs 1 and 3. Figure 1 should be written out in full if at the beginning of a sentence.
Units, Symbols and Abbreviations
SI (Syst鑝e International) units should be used and should conform with the lists printed Units, Symbols and Abbreviations - A Guide for Biological and Medical Editors and Authors 4th edn as published by the Royal Society of Medicine. Nomenclature of disease should follow the International Classification of Disease, published by the World Health Organization, as far as possible.
When first mentioned, cumbersome medical names should be abbreviated for later reference in the text. Latin bi-nominals shot abbreviate the genera to the initial letter after the first mention unless it begins a sentence.
Doses of drugs should be given as unit weight per body weight, e.g. mmol kg-1. Rates should be expressed with negative indices. Concentrations should be given in terms of molarity, e.g. mmol 1-1 not as mM.
Numerals are to be used from 10 upwards and the 24-hour clock, e.g. 21.00 hours, should be used.
The source of all materials used should be given stating company, city of location and country.
Offprints
Fifty offprints will be supplied free to the corresponding author and additional offprints may be ordered on the form accompanying the page proofs.
The editors reserve the right not to accept papers unless adherence to the principles given in the Declaration of Helsinki and the Guiding Principles in the Care and Use of Animals (DHEW Publication NIH) is clear.
