Summary Introduction

To determine: Characteristics of pathogenic fungi which result in their efficiently transmission.

Concept introduction:

Parasitic fungi absorb nutrition from host but they provide no benefit in return. They invade into host and obtain nourishment from them thereby causing disease and sometimes the death of the host occurs. They are efficiently transmitted to their host with the presence of the hardy spores and these fungal spores have easy air dispersal and they easily can enter the host plant body through the natural opening stomata, lenticels or through any broken or wounded part of plant or animal body.
