Classification of Pathogenic Fungi Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6209
The Classification of Pathogenic Fungi Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates the major groups of fungi of medical importance.
It is used in mycology and microbiology courses to explain how fungi are classified based on morphology and the diseases they cause.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Dermatophytes | Fungi such as Trichophyton and Microsporum that infect keratinized tissue including skin, hair, and nails |
| Yeasts | Unicellular fungi such as Candida albicans that reproduce by budding and can cause superficial or systemic infection |
| Dimorphic Fungi | Species such as Histoplasma capsulatum that exist as a mold in the environment and convert to a yeast form at body temperature |
| Molds | Filamentous fungi such as Aspergillus species that reproduce via spores and can cause opportunistic infection |
| Opportunistic Fungi | Organisms such as Cryptococcus neoformans and Mucor species that mainly cause disease in immunocompromised hosts |
Key Features
- Illustrates the major classification groups of pathogenic fungi
- Shows dermatophytes, yeasts, dimorphic fungi, and molds side by side
- Explains the disease relevance of each fungal group
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls
