Novel Technologies for Diagnosis of Fungal Infection

Dear Colleagues,

Fungal infections are increasing across the world. Despite the constant improvement in knowledge, training and the therapeutic management of these infections, prevalence and mortality remain high for some of them, including invasive candidiasis, aspergillosis, pneumocystosis and mucormycosis, linked in particular to an increasing proportion of subjects at risk and to delayed diagnosis. This is why it is important to develop new early detection or screening tools for human and animal fungal infections.

The aim of this Special Issue is to identify all the new techniques useful for the diagnosis of fungal infections, whether microscopic, spectrometric, molecular, bioinformatic, serological or other.

This Special Issue welcomes scientific contributions through original research articles and reviews on this topic, in order to discuss the most recent and exciting advances in this field and possibly propose diagnostic algorithms to improve the precision and the earliness of fungal diagnosis.
