Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite submissions to our Special Issue “Insights into Fungal Infections” in Pathogens (ISSN: 2076-0817).
In recent years, the landscape of fungal infections has been significantly transformed by advancing global interconnectedness, environmental changes, and evolving host susceptibility patterns. This Special Issue will explore the most innovative aspects of current mycological research, including host–pathogen interactions, molecular mechanisms of fungal pathogenesis, epidemiological surveillance, and the growing impact of climate change on fungal distribution and virulence.
As Guest Editors, we welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, systematic reviews, and clinical studies addressing novel diagnostic approaches, antifungal resistance mechanisms, and innovative therapeutic strategies, including the development of next-generation antifungals and immunomodulatory interventions. All accepted manuscripts will receive expedited processing and rigorous peer review.
Dr. María del Rocío Reyes Montes
