Fungi are present everywhere! They play a major role in our ecosystem as main decomposers of organic material, as producers of antibiotics or mycotoxins but also as responsible for human and animal infections. Fungi account for more than a billion of people suffering from fungal diseases resulting in at least a million human deaths per year.

At the end of this course, you will be able to:
•   Outline the basic concepts of fungal taxonomy & ecology.
•   Explain how to identify fungi from clinical specimens or from cultures.
• Define how emerging factors are involved in the development of fungal diseases.
•   Describe antifungal drugs.
•   Discuss the relationship between infections due to fungi and HIV.
