- Health professionals refer to fungal skin diseases as “tineas” and name them according to the region affected (TABLE 23.1). Fungal skin diseases are persistent, in part because fungi can penetrate deeper layers of skin than can ointments and creams. There are fewer antifungal drugs than antibacterial ones, and antifungals often have more severe side effects. Reflect on the evolutionary relationships among bacteria, fungi, and humans. Why it is harder to fight fungi than bacteria?arrow_forwardUse the Internet to find examples of chytrids, zygomycetes,ascomycetes, and basidiomycetes that cause diseases in plants oranimals.

- Give arguments to support the hypothesis that fungi are opisthokonts,more closely related to animals than to plants.arrow_forwardA new disease is discovered that causes affected individuals to stumble, appear to have decomposing skin, and have the strong desire to bite another person. One scientist believes a type of fungus to be the cause. What should she do to demonstrate a link between the suspected pathogen and the disease? A. Use PCR to determine what genes are in the fungus B. Calculate the ID50 of the fungus C. Show that the fungus is present in diseased but not healthy individuals, culture it, infect an animal model with it, and reculture the fungus from the animal D.
