Fungicides applied to agricultural crops are contributing to a rising death toll from fungal infections by driving the evolution of drug-resistant strains, scientists warn.

As they work to develop compounds that target fungal infections in humans, scientists are urging the agrochemical industry and its regulators to pay more attention to the health implications of cross-resistance, which enables fungi to defeat the drugs designed to kill them.
