The incidence and prevalence of fungal infections in Russia is unknown. We estimated the burden of fungal infections in Russia according to the methodology of the LIFE program (www.LIFE-worldwide.org). The total number of patients with serious and chronic mycoses in Russia in 2011 was three million. Most of these patients (2,607,494) had superficial fungal infections (recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis, oral and oesophageal candidiasis with HIV infection and tinea capitis). Invasive and chronic fungal infections (invasive candidiasis, invasive and chronic aspergillosis, cryptococcal meningitis, mucormycosis and Pneumocystis pneumonia) affected 69,331 patients. The total number of adults with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and severe asthma with fungal sensitisation was 406,082.

Biotic stresses such as fungal pathogens significantly affect global crop yields. Understanding of the plant-pathogen interactions during root infection, especially in monocot crops, remains limited compared to fungal colonizations of dicots. The infection process of several cereal crop root-damaging fungi and oomycetes is highly similar to root infections by the pathogen model Phytophthora palmivora.

The sudden emergence of multidrug- and pan-resistant Candida auris isolates, combined with limited treatment options, poses significant global challenges in healthcare settings. Combination based therapies are promising alternative options to overcome C. auris related infections, where echinocandin and isavuconazole (ISA) combinations may be an interesting and promising approach.

This review explores current advancements and challenges in antifungal therapies amid rising fungal infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. We detail the limitations of existing antifungal classes-azoles, echinocandins, polyenes, and flucytosine-in managing systemic infections and the urgent need for alternative solutions. With the increasing incidence of resistance pathogens, such as and , we assess emerging antifungal agents, including Ibrexafungerp, T-2307, and N'-Phenylhydrazides, which target diverse fungal cell mechanisms.
