Recent Advances in Systemic and Emerging Mycoses

Dear Colleagues,

Fungal diseases are becoming increasingly common worldwide, especially in developing countries. Endemic and emerging systemic infections have increased dramatically due to the pandemic caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome virus (SARS-CoV-2). This increase is a cause for concern among scientists, since the therapeutic arsenal against fungal infections is limited and the number of resistant and multidrug-resistant fungal species is constantly growing. In view of this, much research has developed new treatment options as well as new and promising diagnostic methodologies in order to accelerate the detection and combatting of pathogens. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to bring together new advances in systemic and emerging mycoses, bringing together studies involved in the evaluation of virulence, resistance, new therapies, and diagnosis against fungal pathogens. Studies involving in vitro, in vivo, and alternative in vivo models are highly recommended.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
