Saksenaea erythrospora is a filamentous fungus belonging to the order Mucorales. Cases of cutaneous mucormycosis caused by Saksenaea spp. have previously been reported in immunocompetent and immunosuppressed people. A premature, 1-day-old bull calf from Texas with numerous plaque-like and ulcerative lesions in the skin was found at necropsy to have multiple areas of mycotic dermatitis and abomasitis. Fungal culture of the skin followed by morphological characterization and genetic analysis identified the etiologic agent as S. erythrospora.
红孢萨克森霉是一种属于毛霉目的丝状真菌。此前已有报告称，萨克森霉属可导致免疫功能正常和免疫抑制人群发生皮肤毛霉病。一头来自得克萨斯州的早产1日龄公牛犊，皮肤出现大量斑块状和溃疡性病变，尸检发现有多处霉菌性皮炎和皱胃炎。对皮肤进行真菌培养，随后进行形态学鉴定和基因分析，确定病原体为红孢萨克森霉。
