Modulation of Human Immune Response by Fungal Biocontrol Agents
Although the vast majority of biological control agents is generally regarded as safe for humans and environment, the increased exposure of agriculture workers, and consumer population to fungal substances may affect the immune system. Those compounds may be associated with both intense stimulation, resulting in IgE-mediated allergy and immune downmodulation induced by molecules such as cyclosp...
متن کاملFungal parasites of invertebrates: multimodal biocontrol agents?
Introduction Nematophagous and entomopathogenic fungi (NEF) comprise an important group of fungal parasites of invertebrates (FPI). NEF belong to a wide range of fungal taxa, but most of them are anamorphic fungi and facultative parasites. These fungi can infect, kill and digest nematodes and insects, respectively, which we will call their canonical, or normal, hosts. These hosts have barriers ...
متن کاملInduced systemic resistance and plant responses to fungal biocontrol agents.
Biocontrol fungi (BCF) are agents that control plant diseases. These include the well-known Trichoderma spp. and the recently described Sebacinales spp. They have the ability to control numerous foliar, root, and fruit pathogens and even invertebrates such as nematodes. However, this is only a subset of their abilities. We now know that they also have the ability to ameliorate a wide range of a...
متن کاملImmune response to fungal infections.
The immune mechanisms of defence against fungal infections are numerous, and range from protective mechanisms that were present early in evolution (innate immunity) to sophisticated adaptive mechanisms that are induced specifically during infection and disease (adaptive immunity). The first-line innate mechanism is the presence of physical barriers in the form of skin and mucous membranes, whic...
