Overview

Fungal Pathogenicity & Virulence refer to the ability of a fungal organism to cause disease. Fungal infections can cause a range of symptoms, from skin and nail infections to serious, life-threatening diseases such as invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. Due to the increasing incidence of drug-resistant fungal infections, understanding of fungal pathogenicity and virulence is essential to the development of effective treatments. Researchers study the mechanisms by which fungi cause disease, such as production of toxins, invasion of host tissues, modification of the host’s immune response, and more. Further exploration of fungal pathogenicity and virulence can lead to new treatments, vaccines, and improved diagnosis of dangerous fungal infections.
