The biotrophic fungus Ustilago maydis, which causes smut disease in maize, secretes numerous proteins upon plant colonization. Some of them, termed effectors, help to evade plant defenses and manipulate cellular processes within the host. The functio...

This study presents the first comprehensive genomic analysis of Cryptoporus qinlingensis, a classical folk medicine and newly identified macrofungus from the Qinling Mountains. Utilizing advanced sequencing technologies, including PacBio HiFi and Hi-...

The burden of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) is increasing worldwide. National, regional, and local policies on IFI management should respond to the changing landscape. We assessed antifungal policies from five countries of varying size, IFI burde...

Background: Anti-mold azoles have improved the outcomes of invasive aspergillosis (IA) when used therapeutically, but they are extensively used as prophylaxis. There are limited data regarding the outcomes of patients with hematologic malignancy who...

There are scarce data comparing inpatient mortality, length of stay (LOS) and all-cause hospital costs in disseminated coccidioidomycosis (DCM) vs. isolated pulmonary coccidioidomycosis (IPCM). We assessed the burden of hospital illness associated wi...

This study investigates the isolation and screening of Trichoderma strains that exhibit antagonistic properties against soybean root-infecting Fusarium species, particularly F. oxysporum. From soybean rhizosphere soil, 37 antagonistic Trichoderma str...

We performed a thorough search of the literature published through December 2024 with no date exclusions on invasive fungal infection (IFI)-induced hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) in non-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients. The frequ...

The incidence of fungal infections continues to increase and one of the factors responsible for these high rates is the emergence of multi-resistant species, hospitalizations, inappropriate or prolonged use of medications, and pandemics, such as the...

The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) poses a significant threat to amphibian biodiversity, driving severe declines in salamander populations in Europe. While understanding the host–pathogen interaction may yield novel ave...

Macrofungi are a group of fungi with important ecological functions and economic value in forest ecosystems. In this study, the species diversity and community composition of macrofungi in different areas, vegetation types, and elevation gradients fr...
