In 2009, the first Candida auris infection was described, and since then it has become a serious problem in healthcare settings worldwide, where it now causes many infections. The World Health ...

“Insect herbivores have long been known to accumulate plant defense metabolites from their diet as defenses against their own ...

Symbiotic and pathogenic fungi that interact with plants are distantly related and don't share many genetic similarities. Comparing plant pathogenic fungi and plant symbiotic fungi, scientists at the ...

Pneumocystis is an unwieldy genus of fungal pathogens that cause severe pneumonia, particularly in immunocompromised people ...

Fungal diseases can have a devastating effect on agricultural production. By some estimates, these infections account for the loss of as much as a quarter of crops globally each year. For decades, ...

Infection-causing fungi responsible for millions of deaths a year will spread significantly to new regions as the planet heats up, new research predicts — and the world is not prepared. Fungi are ...

The global landscape of fungal infections is evolving, with emerging pathogens increasingly challenging conventional diagnostic and treatment paradigms. Prominent among these are the dimorphic fungi ...

Fungal pathogens, notably species such as Candida albicans, represent a growing global health concern due to their capacity to cause both superficial and life‐threatening systemic infections. A ...

Strains of Aspergillus are already in the U.S. but are expected to expand. Climate change may be putting millions more people at risk from an infection-causing fungi, which is likely spreading due to ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago have discovered that a hormone known as peptide YY (PYY), which is produced by gut endocrine cells and known to be involved in controlling appetite by ...
