- W183044508 abstract "With a few caveats, there are a few general properties of the fungi that most students will find useful: 1. Fungi are not transmitted by animal vectors. The pathogenic fungi infect humans through direct access via air, water, soil, or surface contact. If a fungus is growing in your environment, the overwhelming likelihood is that you are constantly exposed to numerous potentially infective fungal elements. 2. Very few fungal diseases are contagious from person to person, though there are exceptions (e.g. tinea infections). 3. Most fungal diseases do not occur in immuno-competent individuals. Of the hundreds of fungal infections that can occur in humans, only a dozen or so produce disease in healthy persons. 4. Fungal colonization in otherwise healthy individuals, by potentially pathogenic organisms, is quite common. Pneumocystis, Aspergillus, and Cryptococcus are just a few examples of potentially life-threatening infections that are found to inhabit the lungs of a significant percentage of healthy persons. When colonized individuals become immunosuppressed, these endogenous fungi may emerge as serious pathogens. 5. Most of the pathogenic fungi that infect humans belong to Class Ascomycota (Chapter 36). With rare exception (e.g., Cryptococcus Gattii, Class Basidiomycota, Chapter 35), all of the clinically serious systemic mycoses that regularly occur in otherwise healthy individuals belong to Class Ascomycota." @default.
