Pathogenic Fungi—Structural Biology and Taxonomy
Structural Biology and Taxonomy is the first volume in a series authored by leading medical mycologists. The series’ scope is to review progress in basic research on zoopathogenic fungi, a timely effort as medical mycology moves into the genomics era. General knowledge of fungal pathogens is assumed. This volume begins by discussing the cell wall which, besides its roles in pathogenesis, is now...

متن کاملTicks as vectors: taxonomy, biology and ecology.
Ticks are prominent parasites and competent vectors of pathogens that affect both humans and animals. This review outlines and illustrates the main features of the morphology of ticks of the families Ixodidae and Argasidae, and summarises the basic components of their life cycles. It focuses mainly on development processes and mortality among tick populations so as to provide an overview of how...
متن کاملRecent insights into the genetic diversity, epidemiology and clinical relevance of Blastocystis species
Blastocystis is a widely prevalent intestinal protozoan of man and other animals. It is associated with gastro intestinal disorders and symptoms. Emerging literature suggests that several subtypes of this parasite exist and are responsible for virulence, pathogenicity and symptoms. A variety of new diagnostic methods have been developed which help to recognize genotypic variations, subtype rela...
متن کاملRecent advances on biology and virulence
is an important human fungal pathogen, in terms of both its Candida albicans clinical significance and its use as an experimental model for scientific investigation. Although this opportunistic pathogen is a natural component of the human flora, it can cause life-threatening infections in immunosuppressed patients. There are currently a limited number of antifungal molecules and drug targets, a...
