[5][13] Different types are traditionally divided according to the part of the body affected; superficial, subcutaneous, and systemic. [3][6] Superficial fungal infections include common tinea of the skin, such as tinea of the body, groin, hands, feet and beard, and yeast ...
Plant pathology or phytopathology is the scientific study of plant diseases caused by pathogens (infectious organisms) and environmental conditions (physiological factors). [ 1 ] Plant pathology involves the study of pathogen identification, disease etiology, disease cycles, economic impact, plant disease epidemiology, plant disease resistance ...
Mucormycosis, also known as black fungus, [ 3 ][ 4 ] is a severe fungal infection [ 11 ] that comes under fulminant fungal sinusitis, [ 12 ] usually in people who are immunocompromised. [ 9 ][ 13 ] It is curable only when diagnosed early. [ 12 ] Symptoms depend on where in the body the infection occurs. [ 14 ][ 15 ] It most commonly infects the ...
