Higher environmental temperatures may trigger mutations in fungi that lead to increased infectivity, more aggressive growth or resistance to multiple anti-fungal medications. Microbiologist examining ...

There are many reasons to fear a new fungal pathogen—from the paucity of antifungal drug options to lack of vaccines and diagnostic difficulties in humans, to the potential for catastrophic crop and ...

Researchers from The University of Manchester have forecast there will be an increased risk of infection from fungi over the coming years, including a significant spread of some fungal pathogens ...
