Document Summary

Answer: common with immune-compromised individuals, fever, weight loss, skin lesions. Contact with the soil, in particular soil enriched with bird and bat droppings. Explain the significance of the dimorphic nature of systemic human pathogens. Answer: dimorphic: one morphology outside host, second morphology inside host. Dimorphic: one morphology outside host, second morphology inside host. Cannot infect other humans once it is in its second morphology. *give 3 examples of mycotoxin-producing species, the mycotoxin each produces, a place where this mycotoxin might be found and the effects of mycotoxins on animals and/or humans. (9 marks) Suspected human carcinogen + in lab for animals & pigs. Answer: subcutaneous mycoses: introduced by wounds and remain localized. Caused by saprophytic fungi, adapt to grow in human host change morphology/physiology. *dimorphic: infection by inhalation of the conidia, transform into yeast form once in the lungs. *use the table below to show the differences between ectomycorrhizae and endomycorrhizae.
