The fungal genus Fusarium is one of the most important groups of plant-pathogenic fungi and affects a huge diversity of crops in all climatic zones across the globe. In addition, it is also a human pathogen and produces several extremely important mycotoxins in food products that have deleterious effects on livestock and humans. These fungi have been plagued over the past century by different perspectives of what constitutes the genus Fusarium and how many species occur within the genus. Currently, there are conflicting views on the generic boundaries and what defines a species that impact disease diagnosis, management, and biosecurity legislation. An approach to defining and identifying Fusarium that places the needs of the community of users (especially, in this case, phytopathologists) to the forefront is presented in this review.

解决镰刀菌：属的当前状态。

镰刀菌属真菌是最重要的植物致病真菌类之一，影响全球所有气候区的农作物种类繁多。此外，它还是人类病原体，在食品中会产生几种极其重要的霉菌毒素，这些毒素会对牲畜和人类产生有害影响。在过去的一个世纪中，对于镰刀菌属的构成以及该属中有多少种菌种的不同观点困扰着这些真菌。当前，关于通用界限以及什么定义了影响疾病诊断，管理和生物安全立法的物种，存在着不同的观点。在这篇综述中，提出了一种定义和识别镰刀菌的方法，该方法将用户群体（特别是在这种情况下，是植物病理学家）的需求置于最前沿。
