1) manipulating the fungus or the environments (pH, temp.., osmotic pressure)

2) fungicides (kill or inhibits the fungal growth)

3) antibiotics ( I thought antibiotics only used for bacteria only)

4) plant breeding (genetic engineering to enhance genetic capabilities)

5) biological control (uses of other organisms to inhibit the pathogenic fungus)

(Evolution of certain species in order to help them to strive)

Types of fungal parasitic :

1) Necrotroph : kill the host before absorbing the nutrients 2) Biotroph : feed on living host

Hemibiotroph : hybrid of biotroph and necrotroph

3 strategies of parasitic fungus :
1) enzyme that breaks down cell wall
2) toxin that inhibit or reducing the host's cell activities
3) plant specific substances (hormone such as hormone that can influence the growth of the host plant)
Top 10 fungal pathogen in molecular plant pathology:(1) Magnaporthe oryzae; (2) Botrytis cinerea; (3) Puccinia spp.; (4) Fusarium graminearum; (5) Fusarium oxysporum; (6) Blumeria graminis; (7) Mycosphaerella graminicola; (8) Colletotrichum spp.; (9) Ustilago maydis; (10) Melampsora lini, with honourable mentions for fungi just missing out on the Top 10, including Phakopsora pachyrhizi and Rhizoctonia solani.]]> 2014-12-04 04:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/n_zizdihar/pathofungus/wish/43271985 Fungi As Animal Pathogen n_zizdihar https://padlet.com/n_zizdihar/pathofungus/wish/43272353 Parasitic Fungus Diseases in Vertebrates :

1) Mycoses (fungus pass the resistance of its host and commencing infections)

2) Toxicoses (Mycotoxicosis : fungal toxin, Mycetismus : fungus itself)

3) Allergies (Allergens such as fungal protein, Type I hypersensitivity such as it will trigger asthma, Type III hypersensitivity : chronic inhalation of fungal allergens

!What happen to Type II hypersensitivity?
