Experts warn that the widespread use of agricultural fungicides may be accelerating resistance in fungi, making infections harder to treat in humans and animals, and call for a coordinated global approach to regulate and develop antifungal agents to prevent a potential pandemic of resistant fungal infections.
Researchers from the Complexity Science Hub and the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna have developed a "zoonotic web" to map the complex interactions of zoonotic diseases in Austria, highlighting the importance of a holistic One Health approach. The study, published in Nature Communications, identifies key transmission routes and influential actors in zoonotic disease dynamics, emphasizing the need for public awareness and effective surveillance programs.
