New Insights into Medically Relevant Fungi

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue entitled “New Insights into Medically Relevant Fungi” aims to present recent research on any aspect of fungal species that threaten human health. We currently have mycosis caused by well-known etiological agents, diseases caused by emerging fungal pathogens, and diseases associated with fungal species that were previously not recognized as a menace to human beings. Therefore, there is a constant need for new research in both basic and clinical aspects of these pathogens and the caused infections. Some of its focal points include but are not limited to the following:

1. Host–fungus interaction;
2. The search for virulence factors;
3. Fungal sensing by the host immunity;
4. Epidemiology of mycosis;
5. Diagnosis of fungal infections;
6. Use of antifungal drugs and development of new alternatives to control fungal diseases.

Reviews, original research, and communications will be welcome.

Prof. Dr. Hector M. Mora-Montes
