Cover Story: Silver nanoparticles have long been known for their antibacterial properties. Recently, an increasing number of studies confirmed that they have antifungal properties as well. Due to the increasing number of these studies, this review was organized to summarize most of the research conducted so far in this field and to present the results of the activity of silver nanoparticles against fungal pathogens of humans and plants, green synthesis of silver nanoparticles, and the mechanism of action. The combined activity with antifungal drugs and toxicity assessment is also presented. The review describes the antifungal activity of silver nanoparticles against pathogens such as F. oxysporum, F. graminearum, T. asahii, B. cinerea, P. concavum, and Pestalotia sp., as well as many species of the genus Candida. View this paper
