The fungal genus of the order (Wallemiomycotina, Basidiomycota) comprises the most xerotolerant, xerophilic and also halophilic species worldwide. spp. are found in various osmotically challenged environments, such as dry, salted, or highly sugared foods, dry feed, hypersaline waters of solar salterns, salt crystals, indoor and outdoor air, and agriculture aerosols. Recently, eight species were recognized for the genus , among which four are commonly associated with foods: , , and . To date, only strains of , and have been reported to be related to human health problems, as either allergological conditions (e.g., farmer’s lung disease) or rare subcutaneous/cutaneous infections. Therefore, this allergological and infective potential, together with the toxins that the majority of spp. produce even under saline conditions, defines these fungi as filamentous food-borne pathogenic fungi.
目(伞菌纲瓦勒迈菌亚纲)的真菌属包含全球最耐干燥、嗜干燥且嗜盐的物种。该属物种存在于各种渗透压受到挑战的环境中,如干燥、腌制或高糖食品、干饲料、太阳盐场的高盐水域、盐晶体、室内外空气以及农业气溶胶中。最近,该属已确认有八个物种,其中四个通常与食品有关:、、和。迄今为止,仅报道过、和的菌株与人类健康问题有关,表现为变应性疾病(如农民肺疾病)或罕见的皮下/皮肤感染。因此,这种变应性和感染性潜力,以及大多数该属物种即使在盐环境下也会产生的毒素,将这些真菌定义为丝状食源致病真菌。
