What If Fungi Win?

In What If Fungi Win?, Dr. Arturo Casadevall, an esteemed epidemiologist and professor, explores the looming threat of fungal pathogens and their potential to outsmart human defenses. With nearly 50% shared DNA between humans and fungi, the development of effective treatments poses a significant challenge, especially as global conditions become increasingly favorable for fungal growth. Casadevall reflects on his experiences during the AIDS epidemic and the impact of COVID-19 on the immunocompromised, while highlighting ongoing research aimed at mitigating these dangerous threats to both humans and vital ecosystems. This audiobook provides a thorough examination of fungi's dual roles as both beneficial allies and formidable adversaries.
