Climate change will spread deadly fungus to UK

A deadly fungus, Aspergillus, is predicted to spread into the UK and other parts of Europe due to climate change, potentially infecting millions. The study forecasts the fungus, which causes severe infections in humans, animals, and crops, will expand its range from warmer regions like Africa and South America. The speed of its spread depends on global efforts to curb climate change. Researchers highlight the limited availability of antifungal treatments and the increasing drug resistance of the fungus, emphasizing the need for further research and action to mitigate the risks.
