Abstract

Fungi are unique organisms as they represent a separate group in taxonomy for the purpose of classification. Some common species like Aspergillus and Candida are found everywhere on Earth, from grass fields, gardens, and playgrounds to houses, hotels, and hospitals, and even the skin, and mucous membranes have been identified as sources of fungi that cause life-threatening infections. Veterinary mycology deals with the identification of veterinary fungi, diagnosis of fungal infections, and eradication and vaccine development against invasive veterinary fungal infections. It is now a rapidly growing subject, and knowledge on the role of fungi in causing disease in livestock has been greatly increased. Mycotic diseases are the major concern for livestock production, especially in bovines, as they are globally distributed, can cause long-lasting diseases, and are also connected to the public health issue. They are responsible for a wide range of diseases, from localized infections to fatal disseminated diseases in bovines, such as aspergillosis, mucormycosis, ringworm, cryptococcosis, etc. Some of these diseases, such as mycotic abortion in cattle, are of considerable economic importance, and also of great scientific interest. Changing climatic conditions affect the biology, transmission, and epidemiology of the pathogens, as well as variations in host susceptibility via immune modulation and behavioral changes like malnutrition due to climate-induced damage to agricultural production and, therefore, low body immunity to infection and a conducive environment for pathogens, as has resulted with global climate change. Ultraviolet radiation influx may further alter immunity and cause damage to skin and genes (Patz et al., Jama. 275:217–223, 1996; Norval et al., Photochem Photobiol Sci 10:199–225, 2011). This chapter represents an overview of the different categories of fungal infections that can be encountered in animals and also assesses the effect of climate change on mycotic diseases.
