Researchers suggested fungi were adapting to human body temperature and becoming drug resistant. But the idea it’s due to climate change is contested.
But a new study has found that some fungal pathogens are evolving to become capable of infecting humans — and it may be linked to climate change.
“The danger and importance of new fungal pathogens is believed to be seriously underestimated,” wrote the study authors in a paper published in the journal Nature Microbiology.But a new study has found that some fungal pathogens are evolving to become capable of infecting humans — and it may be linked to climate change.
