Fungal management refers to the strategies and practices used to control and prevent fungal infections in plants, animals, and humans. This can include the use of antifungal medications, proper hygiene, and environmental controls to reduce fungal growth. In agriculture, fungicides are often applied to crops to protect them from diseases caused by fungi. In healthcare, fungal management involves diagnosing infections and prescribing appropriate treatments. Common antifungal agents include azoles, echinocandins, and polyene antibiotics. Effective management also emphasizes early detection and education to minimize the risk of outbreaks and ensure better health outcomes.
