npj Fungal Science considers basic, applied, and clinical research that advances knowledge in the field of mycology. The journal covers a broad range of topics including but not limited to: · Medical mycology: diagnosis and treatment of fungal disease in humans · Veterinary mycology: fungal disease in wild and domesticated animals · Clinical trials and case reports · Fungal pathogenesis & host interactions: disease mechanisms, mycotoxins, immunology · Fungal epidemiology: emerging threats · Plant disease: wild plants, crop disease and management · Fungal ecology: fungi in ecosystems, symbiotic relationships, impact on biodiversity · Fungal diversity and systematics: taxonomy, phylogenetics, evolutionary biology · Fungal genetics: genomic studies, gene expression, regulatory mechanisms · Fungal physiology: cell functions, metabolic pathways, biochemical mechanisms. · Applied mycology: biotechnology, bioengineering, food safety.
