Advanced Course on the Identification of Pathogenic Fungi

Description

This practical course will expand on the contents of the separate Common Pathogenic Fungi and Dermatophyte identification courses with a focus on more complex morphologies and challenging identification. For example, delegates will learn to identify holoblastic fungi, mucoraceous fungi, and features of common environmental fungi including sexual structures, and how such attributes can be used in the identification of fungi. Moderate level of baseline fungal identification and experience is required (e.g. dermatophyte and common pathogenic fungi course). It is recommended that delegates also undertake both the dermatophyte and the common pathogenic fungal identification courses.
