As rising global temperatures reshape ecosystems, fungal pathogens are spreading rapidly into new regions, especially across Europe, posing serious risks to human health and food security. The consequences could be dire without decisive climate action.
The article from Moneycontrol discusses how climate change exacerbates fungal outbreaks by creating more favorable conditions for fungi to thrive, such as increased heat and humidity. It highlights the rise in cases of fungal infections like Candida auris, which has been linked to warmer temperatures and is particularly dangerous in healthcare settings. The piece also mentions other fungi like Aspergillus and Cryptococcus, which pose significant health risks, especially to immunocompromised individuals. The article emphasizes the need for better surveillance, research, and public health strategies to combat these emerging threats, noting that climate change not only increases the prevalence of these fungi but also their resistance to treatment, making them harder to control.
