🦠 Fungi that jump from cats to humans? Yes, really.

Sporothrix brasiliensis is spreading in Latin America, causing painful infections & showing #AMR.

The FAILSAFE project, led by @MRC_CMM & funded by #GAMRIF, is supporting vital research to tackle this threat.

🔬 It’s Day 4 of #FungalWeek25 focusing on histoplasmosis, a common but underdiagnosed fungal infection in the Americas.

Researchers at the MRC CMM LATAM Unit are studying:
🌳 Environmental factors
🧫 Fungal biology & virulence
🛡️ Immune response & susceptibility

To improve outcomes for communities.
