Kū pinepine nā maʻi fungal mai kahi palekana kaulike o nā microorganism i kū maoli i ke kino.

ʻO ia ka mea i kolone ʻia e ka lehulehu o nā fungi like ʻole a me nā bacteria, ka hapa nui o ka manawa me ka maikaʻi ʻole a no ka pono o ka hana o ke kino.

Eia nō naʻe, hiki paha i kekahi o kēia mau fungi ke hoʻolaha a lilo i pathogenic, a i ʻole he fungus "kūwaho", lawe ʻia e laʻa e kahi holoholona, ​​ke kumu i ka maʻi. Hiki i ka 200-400 mau ʻano fungi ke hana i ka maʻi i loko o kānaka⁵.

Eia nō naʻe, hiki i nā fungi i ke kaiapuni ke hoʻohaumia i nā kānaka, no ka laʻana:

• e ka inoculation, i ka wā o kahi ʻeha no kahi laʻana (e alakaʻi ana i sporotrichosis a i ʻole chromomycosis, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe);
• e ka inhalation o ka hopena he (histoplasmosis, apergillosis, etc.);
• e ka launa pū ʻana me kekahi kanaka maʻi (candidiasis, ringworms, a pēlā aku);
• ma o ka launa ʻana me kahi holoholona i loaʻa i ka maʻi.
