Mycotic keratitis: epidemiology, diagnosis and management [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2013
Mycotic keratitis (an infection of the cornea) is an important ocular infection, especially in young male outdoor workers. There are two frequent presentations: keratitis due to filamentous fungi (Fusarium, Aspergillus, phaeohyphomycetes and Scedosporium apiospermum are frequent causes) and keratitis due to yeast-like fungi (Candida albicans and other ...

From Mendel to mycoses: Immuno‐genomic warfare at the human–fungus interface

Immunological Reviews, Volume 322, Issue 1, Page 28-52, March 2024.
Summary Fungi are opportunists: They particularly require a defect of immunity to cause severe or disseminated disease. While often secondary to an apparent iatrogenic cause, fungal diseases do occur in the absence of one, albeit infrequently. These rare cases may be due to an underlying genetic immunodeficiency that can present variably in age of ...

Revealing the Diversity of the Mycobiome in Different Phases of Ticks: ITS Gene‐Based Analysis

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Ticks are obligate ectoparasites and vectors of a variety of pathogens in humans and animals. Certain tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) have been identified as the cause of zoonoses, posing potentially significant threats to the human health and livestock industries. Fungi are one of the major TBPs that can affect ticks and cause disease in humans.
