This organism was previously considered to be a fungus, and<unk>  is classified as a fungal disease under ICD-10. It is now considered to be a protist classified under Mesomycetozoea. Authors of detailed studies have revealed superficial similarities between Dermocystidium and Rhinosporidium when using light microscopy, but substantial morphological differences between the groups exist. There is some evidence that DNA extracted from purified uncontaminated round bodies (Rhinosporidium seeberi) is of cyanobacterial origin.
