Abstract
Fusarium is a genus of filamentous fungi that contains many agronomically important plant pathogens, mycotoxin producers, and opportunistic human pathogens. Fusarium is a cosmopolitan genus of filamentous Ascomycete fungi (Sordariomycetes: Hypocreales: Nectriaceae) that includes many toxin-producing plant pathogens of agricultural importance. Collectively, Fusarium diseases include wilts, blights, rots, and cankers of many horticultural, field, ornamental, and forest crops in both agricultural and natural ecosystems. Fusarium also produce a diverse array of toxic secondary metabolites (mycotoxins), such as trichothecenes and fumonisins that can contaminate agricultural products, making them unsuitable for food or feed. Trichothecenes can also act as virulence factors in plant diseases . Although opportunistic Fusarium infections (fusarioses) of humans and other animals are relatively rare, they typically show broad resistance to antifungal drugs.
In humans, Fusarium species cause a broad spectrum of infections, including superficial (such as keratitis and onychomycosis), locally invasive, or disseminated infections, with the last occurring almost exclusively in severely immunocompromised patients. Fusarium species may also cause allergic diseases (sinusitis) in immunocompetent individuals and mycotoxicosis in humans and animals following ingestion of food contaminated by toxin-producing Fusarium spp..
