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.

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.
