Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aspergillus diseases are a growing global concern; their incidence is increasing worldwide because of the rising numbers of immunosuppressed patients due to medical advancements and the increased prevalence of antifungal resistance.
In recent years, two previous Special Issues on Aspergillus and Health have encompassed different research areas, focusing on the unique and diverse genera Aspergillus.
Despite significant advancements in our understanding of Aspergillus species and Aspergillosis, critical knowledge gaps remain, especially in terms of understanding the environmental, clinical, and immunological factors driving these infections, as well as in developing effective strategies for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
Addressing these unmet issues requires interdisciplinary collaboration, integrating genomics, immunology, diagnosis, therapeutics, and environmental science. Enhanced focus on these challenges can pave the way for the development of innovative strategies to reduce the global health burden of Aspergillus.
Therefore, this Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Aspergillus and Aspergillosis”, aims to provide an update about the most recent research in this area tackling the referred-to challenges.
