Within fungi there is a great diversity of biological behaviors and life histories that have direct implications for the genetic structure of fungal populations. Many filamentous fungi are capable of reproducing both sexually and asexually and the relative contribution of each of these modes of reproduction can have major implications for their genetic population structure (Brygoo et al. 1998). In particular, many pathogenic fungi display a predominantly asexual reproductive phase in their life cycle; as a consequence, large fungal populations may be composed of a relatively small number of genetically distinct clones. %$ 076MALPLA03
