Summary Introduction
Introduction:
True or primary fungal pathogens are those species that can invade and grow in a healthy non-compromised host. Opportunistic fungal pathogen on the other hand, have weak or non-existing invasiveness or virulence, and the host defense must be impaired to some degree for the pathogen to have some effect.
