Mycology

Section edited by Dr. Hayley Henderson

The mycology section considers research focusing on the clinical, macro-pathological, cell and molecular biological aspects of fungal pathogens of veterinary importance. This includes studies on livestock, companion animals, equids, wild animals, fish, laboratory animals and animal models of human infections. Studies on related zoonotic and emerging fungal infections are also considered.
