Probiotics as Antifungals: Application in Plant, Animal, Human Health explores the potential of probiotics for developing new control strategies against fungal diseases and related toxic effects.

The book covers different applications of these microorganisms in plants, animals and human health, with particular attention to their potential antifungal activity and their use as biological control tools.

In the plant sector, the book examines the use of probiotics against different fungal pathogens and diseases affecting fruits, vegetables and other plant products. Topics include the control of Aspergillus, Fusarium and Alternaria, as well as postharvest diseases such as anthracnose and different types of mould. It also examines the ability of certain probiotic bacteria to stimulate plant defence mechanisms.

The book then expands its scope to animal production, with chapters addressing fungal diseases and mycotoxicosis in livestock, poultry and aquatic organisms.

In the field of human health, it explores the relationship between the microbiome and fungal infections, including different types of mycoses and the potential use of probiotics as a complementary tool.

The book also addresses mycotoxin detoxification, regulatory aspects, the combination of probiotics with other antifungal strategies, the development of genetically engineered probiotics, challenges associated with probiotic therapy and emerging research trends.
