Fungal plastiphily and its link to generic virulence traits makes environmental microplastics a global health factor
2023-03-11
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Fungi comprise significant human pathogens, causing over a billion infections each year. Plastic pollution alters niches of fungi by providing trillions of artificial microhabitats, mostly in the form of microplastics, where pathogens might accumulate, thrive, and evolve. However, interactions between fungi and microplastics in nature are largely unexplored. To address this knowledge ga...
