US health experts claim that the threat of fungi infections, which may be lethal to humans, is growing as a result of the rise in global temperatures. Temperatures are expected to climb by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius beyond the pre-industrial threshold set by the UN by 2027, according to climate estimates. Climate change is "pushing the organisms to adapt to better infect and invade people," according to the health experts, The Telegraph said.
"Since many of these fungal pathogens typically exist in nature, they're not as well adapted to human or mammalian body temperatures at 37 degrees centigrade," said Dr. Michael Kurilla, director of the US National Centre for Advancing Translational Sciences, a division of the National Institutes of Health. However, he continued, "Global warming is actually forcing them to adapt; it is now much simpler for fungus to colonize, infect, and invade both humans and other mammalian species.

According to the paper, Candida auris, which has a mortality rate between 30 and 72%, is of particular concern. The infection, which was first discovered in japan in 2009, is now being reported in roughly 30 different nations. Both its detection and treatment are challenging. A multidrug-resistant fungal infection connected with health care that preys on weaker immune systems, Candida auris has caused outbreaks in hospitals all over the world.
