Yet only a small number of fungi are harmful to animals, including humans. In addition to host-pathogen interactions, there are also mutualistic interactions between fungi and animals. Diseases caused by pathogenic fungi range from allergic reactions and superficial infections to invasive mycoses, and have a significant impact on human and animal life. Fungi are also cultivated by animals as a food source in highly developed relationships or are even involved in gut mutualism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 3rd edition of Volume 6 of \u003cem\u003eThe Mycota\u003c\/em\u003e highlights exemplary interactions between fungal pathogens and their host(s).

It focuses on RNA as a mediator of host-pathogen interactions, the human gut mycobiome, the role of the innate immune system in fighting infections, pattern recognition receptors involved in fungal infections, and a summary of established infection models for studying host-fungal-pathogen interactions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart 3 provides insights into the impact transcriptomics and proteomics technologies have on the research of human-pathogenic fungi.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe up-to-date reviews by experts in the field provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the various research topics in the field of human and animal relationships with fungi and will hopefully help researchers to find inspiration for their own research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47658218455191,"sku":"9783031648557","price":13610.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783031648557.webp?v=1775817892","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/human-and-animal-relationships-9783031648557","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
