In the last Module you researched and reported on an infectious disease that is caused by a bacteria or virus. For this Module you will be researching and reporting on another type of disease called a mycosis. Fungal infections are often overlooked as being ecologically important because they rarely result in death in humans. In this Competency Assessment you can broaden your horizons a bit. Mycosis, as you learned, is any infection by a fungal species. It can infect humans or other organisms such as plants or insects. Find an example of this situation from investigations on the Internet and share your findings of a unique example of this parasitic relationship.

You will need one document to complete this Competency Assessment:
