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 کاملEcology and taxonomy of pathogenic aspergilli.
Aspergillus fumigatus and related species are widely distributed in nature. The majority of the species belonging to this genus are saprophytic in nature. Only a few species including A. fumigatus are capable of causing diseases in man. These opportunistic agents may cause infection or allergy in susceptible individuals. These fungi also cause diseases in animals, birds, and in plants. In addit...
متن کاملReview of Human Pathogenic Fungi: Molecular Biology and Pathogenic Mechanisms
The complex interplay between host and microbe is especially evident in the pathogenesis of fungal diseases. Certain fungi, like Candida albicans, are commensals whereas others, like Cryptococcus neoformans, are environmental opportunists who have, in part, enhanced their capacity to cause devastating disease through interactions (e.g., a “boot camp”) over the millennia with environmental preda...

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...
