The Rising Havoc of the Black, White and Yellow Fungi in India

Abstract

The diseases caused by fungus are common in the plant kingdom, but in humans and animals, fungal infection is not familiar due to the protective shield provided by the immune system of humans and animals. However, in the scenario where the immune system is weakened by the infection of the deadly Coronavirus, the harmless fungi group takes an opportunity to attack the human body, which can be life-threatening. The fungal pathogen invades the human body through wounds or via the respiratory tract. Therefore, when it enters the body tissue, it eats it up for energy and withstands the immune shield. Currently, the world is dealing with the novel Coronavirus, now the profound attack of another group of microscopic enemy called black, white and yellow fungus infection has created havoc amidst the insuperable pandemic.
