1. Introduction Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases are defined as recently recognized or evolved, or previously identified that have shown significant changes in their geographic, host or vector range (1). More than 60% of the emerging infectious diseases are zoonoses originating from domestic animals, poultry, livestock, and increasingly (71.8%) from wildlife species (2). Zoonoses are caused by various pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or prions that are naturally transmitted from vertebrate animals to humans during spillover events. In particular, viral infections pose a major threat to human health, as they can be transmitted by aerosol, direct contact with animals or their fluids, through food or vectors (3), and it is estimated that more than 1.6 million unknown viral species of mammalian and waterfowl can infect humans, of which up to half have zoonotic potential (4). Zoonotic transmission involves the interaction of a pathogen and at least two host ...

Abstract Human fungal infections are a historically neglected area of disease research, yet they cause more than 1.5 million deaths every year. Our understanding of the pathophysiology of these infections has increased considerably over the past decade, through major insights into both the host and pathogen factors that contribute to the phenotype and severity of these diseases. Recent studies are revealing multiple mechanisms by which fungi modify and manipulate the host, escape immune surveillance and generate complex comorbidities. Although the emergence of fungal strains that are less susceptible to antifungal drugs or that rapidly evolve drug resistance is posing new threats, greater understanding of immune mechanisms and host susceptibility factors is beginning to offer novel immunotherapeutic options for the future. In this Review, we provide a broad and comprehensive overview of the pathobiology of human fungal infections, focusing specifically on pathogens that can cause invas...
