Abstract:

Over 1500 papers on Aspergillosis and 1300 papers on Mucormycosis have been published since we last met (virtually) at the 10th Advances Against Aspergillosis and Mucormycosis conference on February 2-3, 2022. We will attempt the impossible task of identifying the top six papers in these fields (roughly 1 paper out of 500). Dr. Felix Bongomin, an internationally recognized expert in clinical mycology at Gulu University, Uganda, will present the top three clinical papers. Nir Osherov, Professor of Mycology and Head of the Antifungal and Aspergillus fumigatus Research Group at Tel Aviv University, Israel, will present the top three basic research papers.
