RGD uses the Human Disease Ontology (DO, https://disease-ontology.org/) for disease curation across species. RGD automatically downloads each new release of the ontology on a monthly basis. Some additional terms which are required for RGD's curation purposes but are not currently covered in the official version of DO have been added. As corresponding terms are added to DO, these custom terms are retired and the DO terms substituted in existing annotations and subsequently used for curation.
A fungal infectious disease that results_in infection located_in skin or located_in subcutaneous tissue, has_material_basis_in Fungi, which penetrate the dermis or even deeper during or after a skin trauma. (DO)
