In this video, Biology Professor discusses the basics of understanding several important human fungal pathogens and the diseases they cause, including Candida albicans, Pneumocystis jiroveci, Histoplasma capsulatum, Blastomyces dermatitidis, Coccidioides immitis, and dermatophytes. In addition, reasons why many fungi are good for humans are also discussed, along with a brief mention of fungal pathogens of plants and amphibians. Great for MCAT Biology Review!
I really liked your video I am trying to study Cancer and wanted to ask about where some of my studying called Cancer as a mostly Fungal Issue any help would be appreciated
I have this tiny black things that come out in my legs and hands its makes my hands and legs black ,this has been in my hands and legs since I was little ,I did skin tests BT there could not fine any infection .after that I did blood culture tests and the result comes out that is fungi and bacteria that course it ,that the problem is in my blood. so I am about to do the treatment now ,BT when I saw this I decided to drop comments if u can educated me more on this .
I have read that there are microbes in the soil which are beneficial to humans and it can be good to touch soil with our bare skin. Do you believe that to be true or is it too risky? Should we always wear gloves and shoes? Is it healthy for children to play in the dirt for developing healthy immune systems?
Yes, very healthy to touch soil and play in the dirt! It’s good to get muddy, as long as the mud/dirt/soil isn’t contaminated by feces, pollutants, or something else dangerous.
Unfortunately, it makes me less confident in the material when you use the word "endemic" incorrectly. If its found in more than one location, by definition it cannot be endemic.
You are very much incorrect. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, run by the National Institute of Health: "Endemic refers to the constant presence and/or usual prevalence of a disease or infectious agent in a population within a geographic area." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMHT0025844/ In other words, endemic refers to a continual presence of a pathogen in any given area, not in only one area. Many diseases can be endemic to multiple locations. Here is another example: www.cdc.gov/travel-static/yellowbook/2014/map_3-10.pdf This map from the CDC specifically shows dozens of countries where malaria is ENDEMIC.
Yes, plants can be genetically modified to express genes that confer resistance to certain fungal pathogens. For example... www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/15947906/
my family is infected from a dormant water line that was flushed in our home by landlord. My entire body os infested. Can’t find anybody to identify or help me. I have kids. It’s difficult to say the least. I

Well Done. Keep it up. Thank You

Are you still alive? That sounds amazingly disturbing!!
You're perfect, I love this.

Hii ....anybody knows about fungal resistance of transgenic planta??
Yes, plants can be genetically modified to express genes that confer resistance to certain fungal pathogens. For example... www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/15947906/
Love you Mam
thanks! :)
You people are so crazy
I have systemic fungus coming out everywhere
I DO NOT HAVE AIDS!!!!!

yr funguce ta care . .
funji
Very poor audio. Even with full volume, you can barely hear.
Can’t they afford good microphone?
How Rude, Your just saying that cause your broke
This video is 6 years old. I was still figuring stuff out. You seem to still be figuring things out too... like manners. ;)
