Current Biology
The fungal kingdom comprises an immense diversity of life forms. Fungi have adapted to highly distinct niches and constitute key components of all terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Through the secretion of very diverse enzymes they contribute to the degradation of organic compounds and thereby the recycling of nutrients.

Unusual fungal pathogens in fungal rhinosinusitis
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2000Approximately 300 fungal species are known to cause mycotic disease in humans and other animals. More than 50 of these species are documented as agents of rhinosinusitis. Most such infections are caused by species of Aspergillus, Rhizopus, Alternaria, Bipolaris, and Curvularia. A growing number, however, has been attributed to lesser known fungi. Here,

The role of zinc in the pathogenicity of human fungal pathogens
2021Fungal pathogens now account for an unprecedented burden on human health. Like all microorganisms, these fungi must successfully forage for essential micronutrients such as zinc in order to proliferate. However, pathogenic microbes face an additional hurdle in securing zinc from their environment: the action of host nutritional immunity which strictly ...

Overview of the Fungal Pathogens
2014This chapter provides basic knowledge of fungal biology that is necessary for proper comprehension of the intimate mechanisms and strategies that fungi have adopted in causing infections and diseases. Fungal morphogenesis, dimorphism, and phenotypic switching are now beginning to be explored at the molecular and genetic levels.

Epithelial responses to fungal pathogens
Current Opinion in MicrobiologyEpithelial cells orchestrate immune responses against fungal pathogens. This review highlights advances in integrating epithelial cells in immune responses against inhaled molds and dimorphic fungi, and against Candida species that colonize mucosal surfaces.

Biological control of fungal pathogens
Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 1994Biological control of soil-borne plant pathogens is a potential alternative to the use of chemical pesticides, which have already been proved to be harmful to the environment. Several strains of the fungus Trichoderma have been isolated and found to be effective biocontrol agents of various soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi under greenhouse and field ...

Complement and fungal pathogens: an update
Mycoses, 2008SummaryFungal infections are a serious complication in immunocompromised patients such as human immunodeficiency virus‐infected individuals, patients with organ transplantations or with haematological neoplasia. The lethality of opportunistic fungal infection is high despite a growing arsenal of antimycotic drugs, implying the urgent need for ...

The Dawn of Fungal Pathogen Genomics
Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2006Abstract Recent advances in sequencing technologies have led to a remarkable increase in the number of sequenced fungal genomes. Several important plant pathogenic fungi are among those that have been sequenced or are being sequenced. Additional fungal pathogens are likely to be sequenced in the near future.

MAP Kinases in Fungal Pathogens
Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2000MAP kinases in eukaryotic cells are well known for transducing a variety of extracellular signals to regulate cell growth and differentiation. Recently, MAP kinases homologous to the yeast Fus3/Kss1 MAP kinases have been identified in several fungal pathogens and found to be important for appressorium formation, invasive hyphal growth, and fungal ...

This chapter aims to redress the imbalance shown by past and present literature which purports to cover and comprehensively review the biology of spiders. None of these, however, even the most recent updates, report on or make reference to fungi as natural enemies of spiders.
