Jakob Eriksson (30 September 1848 – 26 April 1931) was a Swedish plant pathologist, mycologist and a taxonomist. Eriksson was the first to describe the special forms within morphologically similar species of rust fungi.[1] He has over 400 publications on studies primarily focusing on fungal pathogens at the cellular level and understanding the process of infection.[2]
