Emerging and re‐emerging fungal threats in Africa
Parasite Immunology, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 Abstract The emergence of deadly fungal infections in Africa is primarily driven by a disproportionately high burden of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections, lack of access to quality health care, and the unavailability of effective antifungal drugs.

Fungal exposome, human health, and unmet needs: A 2022 update with special focus on allergy
Allergy, Volume 77, Issue 11, Page 3199-3216, November 2022., 2022 Abstract Humans inhale, ingest, and touch thousands of fungi each day. The ubiquity and diversity of the fungal kingdom, reflected by its complex taxonomy, are in sharp contrast with our scarce knowledge about its distribution, pathogenic effects, and effective interventions at the environmental and individual levels.

Assessing global fungal threats to humans
mLife, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 223-240, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Fungi are an integral part of the earth's biosphere. They are broadly distributed in all continents and ecosystems and play a diversity of roles. Here, I review our current understanding of fungal threats to humans and describe the major factors that contribute to various threats.
