Resources

The best places to learn about fungal disease and resistance.

We are one small part of a larger field. Below are the organizations, public-health bodies, and reference materials we trust and return to. Start here if you want to go further than this site can take you.

Organizations & advocacy

Groups driving awareness, diagnosis, and policy on fungal disease.

Global Action For Fungal Infections (GAFFI)

An international foundation working to make fungal diagnostics and essential antifungal medicines available worldwide, and to put fungal disease on the global health agenda.

Fungal Infection Trust

A UK charity that funds fungal-disease research and public education, and runs the LIFE / Fungal Education program.

Mycoses Study Group Education & Research Consortium (MSGERC)

A clinical and research network advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and study of invasive fungal infections.

Public health bodies

Authoritative surveillance and guidance from global and national agencies.

WHO Fungal Priority Pathogens List

The World Health Organization's first ranking of the fungal pathogens that most need research and public-health attention. It is a large part of why Candida auris is now widely known in the field.

CDC: Candida auris

The US Centers for Disease Control's hub on C. auris: how it spreads in hospitals, its multidrug resistance, and current containment guidance.

Learn the science

Open, structured education from beginner explainers to clinical detail.

LIFE / Fungal Education

Free, open-access education on fungal diseases and the fungi that cause them, layered from plain-language summaries to clinical and lab-level detail, in English and Spanish.

Doctor Fungus

A long-running reference on fungi, antifungal drugs, and clinical mycology cases.

Key reports & data

The primary sources behind the numbers we cite.

Denning, Global incidence and mortality of severe fungal disease (Lancet Infect. Dis., 2024)

The burden estimate behind the ~3.8 million deaths a year figure: ~6.5 million invasive fungal infections annually, with a detailed breakdown by disease.

WHO Fungal Priority Pathogens List report (PDF)

The full 48-page WHO report, covering the methodology, the three priority tiers, and the research and policy actions it recommends.
