本文重点介绍了我们这个时代的一些更显着的持续性真菌疾病。它提请注意感染粮食作物的新的真菌致病型的出现，主要是由于现代农业实践，以及新生的真菌疾病在世界范围内大量减少青蛙种群和杀死美国北方冬眠的蝙蝠。我们调用使用的基本疾病三角形的概念，以突出“失踪”的数据，关于病原体和宿主生物学和各种环境参数，可能会决定疾病的传播。鉴于这些数据“空白”，我们对政策的执行情况发表评论。最后，我们提出了一系列改善疾病监测和报告的建议，需要提高公众对这些问题的认识，并呼吁为真菌研究提供更多资金。在这样做的过程中，我们已经利用了Magnaporthe和Batrachochytrium dendrobatim作为新出现的传染性真菌的范例。我们的目标是强调新兴和新兴真菌对粮食安全的影响，更广泛地说，生态系统健康。(C)2011年英国真菌学会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
This article highlights some of the more notable persistent fungal diseases of our times. It draws attention to the emergence of new fungal pathotypes infecting food staple crops, due largely to modern agricultural practices, and to nascent fungal diseases decimating frog populations worldwide and killing hibernating bats in Northern USA. We invoke use of the basic disease triangle concept to highlight the "missing" data, with regards to pathogen and host biology and to the various environmental parameters which may dictate disease spread. Given these data "voids" we comment on the implementation of policy. We conclude with a series of recommendations for improved disease surveillance and reporting, the need for greater public awareness of these issues and a call for greater funding for fungal research. In so doing, we have exploited Magnaporthe oryzae and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis as exemplar emerging infectious fungi. Our aim is to highlight the impact of emerging and emergent fungi on food security and, more broadly, ecosystem health. (C) 2011 British Mycological Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
