Aim & Scope
We strive to share our expertise in animal mycoses and fungal diseases across countries worldwide, fostering a robust framework of knowledge from which we can all learn. Our collaboration with various ISHAM working groups, international societies, regulatory agencies, and governmental authorities underscores our commitment to a One Health approach.
Membership
Membership is open to anyone with a scientific interest in fungi that affect animal species, particularly in the context of animal mycoses. We invite individuals who are keen on researching fungal diseases related to veterinary problems and developing animal models for human fungal diseases. Importantly, a veterinary qualification is not necessary for membership, as we support the One Health approach to comprehensively understand these issues.

Amir Seyedmousavi, Jacques Guillot, Sybren de Hoog, and Vania Vicente are recognized experts in the study of animal mycoses and fungal diseases. Moreover, Mihai Mares, Mark Krockenberger, and Daniel Elad enhance our understanding of these issues within the One Health framework.

In addition, the insights from Bozena Dworecka-Kaszak, Selene Dall'Acqua Coutinho, Akinyi Nyaoke, and Amy M. Grooters provide valuable perspectives on the impact of animal mycoses on both animal and human health.
