6a. Fungal disease epidemiology
Genetic deficiencies correlate with higher protection or susceptibility to various fungal infections. Tools for human genome characterisation are becoming more efficient and affordable. In this context, the genetic information from the host together with the identification of the impaired immunological pathways represent relevant data for the personalised prognosis, diagnosis and treatment of fungal infections. These concepts will underpin medical mycology in the 21st century.
