New Perspectives on Fungal Immunology

Dear Colleagues,

Antifungal resistance presents a major challenge in managing fungal infections, particularly invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised individuals. A thorough understanding of host immune mechanisms at the site of infection and during invasive fungemia is crucial in developing new immunotherapeutic strategies. To further develop this critical research area, we invite contributions to this Special Issue, “New Perspectives on Fungal Immunology”.

This Special Issue will explore the latest advancements in host–fungus interactions, immune evasion mechanisms, and novel therapeutic approaches. We welcome original research, reviews, and perspectives on topics such as innate and adaptive immune responses to fungal pathogens, microbiome-driven immune response, immunomodulatory interventions, and emerging diagnostic and treatment strategies. By bringing together cutting-edge studies, we hope to foster a deeper understanding of fungal immunology and its clinical implications. We encourage submissions that offer innovative insights and multidisciplinary approaches in this evolving field.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Fungi is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
