CDC fungal expert @tom_tchill calms alarmed viewers of @HBO's The Last of Us and explains why its extremely unlikely that fungal infections could turn humans into zombies. He also outlines the dangers of currently studied invasive fungal infections. independent.co.uk/voices/the-las…

Fungal pathogens can cause illnesses and death. They are becoming increasingly common and resistant to treatment. Yet, too little is known about them. The 🆕 WHO fungal priority pathogens list is an important step to boost urgently needed research: 📌 bit.ly/3N6QcBi

@neleshg @Manhica_CISM @nicd_sa Excellent. Good luck

En route to visit the lovely people at @Manhica_CISM in Mozambique to plan collaborative work in fungal disease surveillance, our @nicd_sa team came across the Candida tavern (or bottle store) We had to stop!

It's @CDCgov Fungal Disease Awareness Week. Throughout the week we'll be highlighting relevant resources for you to access to learn more about the global impact of fungal diseases. #thinkfungus #meded #fungalinfection #awareness #education #research #mycology

Exciting times for Mycology! @WHO fungal priority pathogen list #FPPL is being developed! Do you want to be involved in the process? @gemicomed @gaffi_org @eurconfmedmycol @ISHAM_Mycology @AEMMicologia

@ambitioncm2020 @drdavidlawrence @IAS_conference Great.

Delighted to announce that @drdavidlawrence will present the results of the AMBITION Phase III trial on behalf of the consortium at @IAS_conference on Wednesday 21 July, 10am CET during the Track B late-breaker oral abstract session. We hope you will be able to join remotely.

Inauguration Day!!!

@drklausner congrats. Just shave it all.

@dwdenning David. Many thanks for all you have done in the fight to save lives from fungal diseases. Still lots of work for you my friend and I look forward our continued friendship and collaboration.

Great @Radiolab episode this week, exploring ideas of temperature adaptation and the emergence of Candida auris. Great ep as always, featuring @tom_tchill and others from @CDCgov. pca.st/episode/5fc181…

Thanks. We need to look here in the US.

@neleshg Doesn’t seem to be the case. Indeed is causing death in various countries but we need to understand attribution

We need data on attributable mortality for Candida auris. In South Africa, the crude mortality was 45% for bloodstream infections but these occurred in critically ill patients
