A. Candida and Aspergillus
B. Histoplasma and Coccidiodes
C. Puccinia and Erysiphe
EXPLANATION
Historical developments of chemicals, legislative, cultural and biological protection measures including classification of plant diseases
- Human Pathogenic and Opportunistic Fungi:
- Group A (Candida and Aspergillus): Cause serious opportunistic mycoses (e.g., candidiasis, invasive pulmonary aspergillosis) in immunocompromised individuals, including chemotherapy, organ transplant, and AIDS patients.
- Group B (Histoplasma and Coccidioides): Dimorphic fungal pathogens causing systemic endemic respiratory and deep-tissue infections (histoplasmosis and coccidioidomycosis) with high mortality in immunocompromised hosts.
- Group C (Puccinia and Erysiphe): Obligate biotrophic plant pathogens (rusts and powdery mildews) that infect strictly plant hosts and are entirely incapable of causing human disease.
- Conclusion: Fungi in groups A and B cause human diseases in immunocompromised patients (Option 3).
Correct option: (3) A&B
