Phytoconstituents and Antifungals covers a wide range of specific
information on various phytoconstituents, their antifungal mode and the
diagnosis and management of fungal infections. The book offers
encouragement and empowers readers to re-embrace their knowledge of
phytoconstituents and their various antifungal activities against most
opportunistic pathogenic fungi as fungal diseases cause an estimated
1.5+ million deaths annually and over one billion people suffer from
severe fungal disease. In this complex scenario, it is now clear that
global warming and accompanying climate changes have resulted in
increased incidence of many fungal infections.
On the basis of all these factors, concerns on the occurrence of a
pandemic fungal origin in the near future have been raised. In this
context, to stop forgetting and underestimating fungal diseases is
mandatory.
