Abstract

Global warmth as a universal disaster threatens the biodiversity on the earth via its direct devastative impact (fires, floods, and storms) as well as through its stressful impact on the physiology of living organisms. Consequently, some of thermophilic pathogens will get the opportunity to exert their harmful influences on the life of plants, animals and human. The increased incidence of the diseases caused by the thermophilic fungus, Neoscytalidium dimidiatum is just one of the biological impacts of global warmth that would annihilate the important woods and affect crop production. The fungus is also pathogenic on humans. The windborne arthrospores of the fungus will be easily disseminated by air currents and the rate of infections will rise. This article considers the real facts and suggests realistic opinions for the management of the disease.
