The Veterinary Mycology Working Group has been established in 2010 by a group of experts under the umbrella of International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM) to support all scientific aspects that deals with mycology and veterinary sciences, including:

• Diagnosis & identification of veterinary pathogenic fungi
• Pathophysiology and immunology of fungal diseases in animals
• Epidemiology, prevention, control and eradication of animal mycoses
• Vaccine development, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic evaluation of Antifungals in Animals
• Fungal zoonoses
• Mycotoxins and Mycotoxicosis
• Standardization of animal model on invasive fungal infections and use of alternatives
• One Health

We aim to share expertise among all countries around the globe to provide a strong framework of existing knowledge, as we may learn a lot from each other. We collaborate with other ISHAM-working groups, international societies, regulatory agencies and governmental authorities.

Please note:  

• Membership is open to any with a scientific interest in fungi affecting animal species
• Interest in research into understanding a veterinary disease problem
• Interest in development of animal models of human fungal disease
• A veterinary qualification is not a requirement for membership

The ISHAM-Veterinary Mycology Working Group has more than 200 expert members from all around the world. To join our team, please submit your interest through this link: Membership ISHAM Working group Veterinary Mycology and One Health
