Preface
Plants are richsourcesof beneficial secondary metabolites which are attractive as
flavors, fragrances, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and antimicrobials. The use of
plantsforcombatingdifferentfungalpathogensofhumansandanimalsdatesback
tothebeginningofhumancivilization.Plantsandplant-derivedproductsarewell
known in ‘Ayurveda’ (ancient science of life) and in other traditional systems as
antifungal remedies. They are important sources for a diverse range of antifungal
metabolites.Theextractsandoilsfromplantshaveusuallynosideeffectsandasa
unique advantage, they are within the reach of the common people all over the
world. Aside from a brilliant role to combating fungal diseases of human beings,
plant-derived natural products can also be used for the management of phyto-
pathogens offungal origin. It is a natural way of coping with fungal infections.
Worldwide occurrence of fungal infections, especially from commensal
pathogenssuchasCandida,hasbeendramaticallyincreasedinrecentyearsdueto
a continuous increase in immunosuppressive conditions like AIDS, organ trans-
plantation,cancer,anddiabetesmellitus.Increasingtrendsofhealthorganizations
andpharmaceuticalindustriestouseplantsassafeandeffectivealternativesources
of synthetic antifungals is due to major problems of slow growing and high costs
of synthetic pharmaceutics, their life-threatening side effects, rapid increasing of
newfungalinfections,andthedramaticemergenceofmultidrugresistancefungal
pathogens.Worldtradeinmedicinalplantsisnowmorethan43billiondollarsand
is predicted to reach to 5 trillion dollars in 2050.
Themaingoalofthisbookistoprovideinformationtoreadersregardinguseof
different medicinal plants and their bioactive metabolites in combating various
fungal diseases of humans, animals, and plants.
The book has been divided into four parts: Part I incorporates global distri-
bution of antifungal compounds, Part II deals with antifungal activities of plants
andplant-derivednaturalproducts,PartIIIincludesplantsusedin‘Ayurveda’and
traditional systems for treatment offungal diseases, and Part IV discusses the use
of plant-derived products to protect fungal diseases of plants/fruits.
Thebookwillbeofutmostimportancetostudents,researchers,andteachersof
medicine, botany, mycology, microbiology, and pharmacology. The readers
should find the book full of information and reader-friendly.
