Fungi Parasitic

Parasitic fungi. Parasitic fungi are the most dangerous and aggressive inhabitants of the natural world, since not everyone can still boast of having a complete digestive system and its adequate functioning. Therefore, they absorb living organisms entirely. Thus, fungi have a long development life cycle. It is the parasitarium that is one of the key components of fungal cells, since their presence in the body is necessary for survival.

Examples of parasitic fungi: * yeast – contain up to 70% of the total microbiota, which contributes to the development of various diseases; * endemic – distributed throughout the territory

Fungi are single-celled microorganisms that have no independent significance and are capable of growing and reproducing only at the expense of the host organism. Symbiosis is in the nature of cohabitation and parasitism - fungi are divided into three groups: symbionts, saprotrophs (producers) and parasites. The last group includes parasitic fungi (various types of ergot), which infect multicellular animals and humans, destroy plant tissue, etc. These fungi are recognized as agricultural pests due to their pathogenicity. Many species pose a threat to the health of animals and people, including pathogens of systemic mycoses and pathogens of opportunistic lesions. The family of parasites includes several species, each of which can infect either animals or humans. The classification of parafungal diseases includes dermatomycosis, superficial candidiasis, and deep systemic mycoses.
