Human Disease Caused By Fungi & Protists

Identification of Medically Important Fungi

Separation of taxa is still primarily based on the method of spore production of the perfect or sexual state (teleomorph) and three major subdivisions, the Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes are generally recognized. However for medical mycologists two other groups are of particular importance; the yeasts and the hyphomycetes or conidial moulds.

Select from one of the following groups:
Dermatophytes
Yeasts
Dimorphic Pathogens
Hyphomycetes (hyaline moulds)
Hyphomycetes (dematiaceous moulds)
Coelomycetes
Zygomycetes
Oomycota
Basidiomycetes
