The incidence of invasive fungal diseases has witnessed a significant increase in recent years, presenting a major threat to global public health. Nevertheless, research on fungi lags behind that on bacteria, and the understanding of how fungi cause infections in humans remains limited. Fungi are highly diverse and play a crucial role in natural ecosystems. In this review, we analysed the causes of the increase in human invasive fungal diseases from the perspectives of environmental changes, plant factors, animal factors, soil alterations, human activities and fungal resistance from the viewpoint of One Health, aiming to better understand fungi, adapt to nature and collaborate in multiple fields to reduce human invasive fungal diseases.
