Discuss at your own wordsarrow_forwardWhat temperature will kill fungus?arrow_forwardMany fungal infections of humans are considered to be opportunistic, meaning that fungi that are normally free-living (usually in soil) can sometimes survive, and even thrive, on or inside the human body. From the fungal “point of view,” what unique challenges would be encountered when trying to survive on human skin? What about inside human lungs?arrow_forward

Briefly explain.Use your own words to explainarrow_forwardMore fungal diseases are recognized than were known just a decade ago. For example, in 2012, hundreds of patients developed a meningitis caused by a fungus never before known to cause disease. Why is this the case?
