Editorial: Emerging fungal pathogens: perspectives

Overview This editorial focuses on the new fungal infections and their effects on the world’s population. It has highlighted the aspects of fungal taxonomy and identification, immunology in fungal diseases, vaccines, and concepts of One Health to achieve the aim to prevent and control fungal diseases efficiently. Key Points Fungal Diversity: Millions of fungi species are in existent and they are involved in many roles in various ecosystems and they can also be pathogenic 1. Climate Change Impact: Body Climate change factors affect how fungi evolves and introduces new diseases 2. Vaccine Development: Obstacles in the production of fungal vaccines include the factors such as the nature of fungi, their ability to avoid the host’s immune responses, and the requirement of a safe and efficient response to produce vaccines 2. World Health Organization (WHO) Concerns: This paper highlights critical human fungal pathogens based on the WHO, stressing the need to address such infections 1. Infection Outcome Factors: Accordingly, the result of malicious fungi is governed by multitude factors including the relation between host and pathogen, immunologic capacity and physical conditions 3. Conclusion Knowledge of the fungal pathogens, the host’s immune response, and the effects of ecology on human health is important in the management of antifungal measures. The editorial stressed that interprofessional synergetic approaches are required to address the issues of new fungal species.
