New fungal infections capable of colonizing human bodies, as in the hit TV show The Last of Us (left), are spreading quickly and becoming more popular, with MPs being told how to avoid drugs. However, experts agree that there is not enough evidence into new drugs because it is not profitable for pharmaceutical companies. The threat to mankind, according to Matthew Fisher, a professor of fungal disease at Imperial College London, is unknown. 'Fungi place a substantial global strain on public health,' he told the science, innovation, and technology committee. 'In terms of global mortality, bacterial diseases are up there with the big hitters.' Candida auris (right), a drug-resistant fungal disease that can cause bloodstream infections and death, is one of many infections that have spread to Asia, Europe, and the United States in the last ten years.

The University of Georgia's researchers tested Aspergillus, Candida, and Pneumocystis. The most common cause of disease in America are fungus families. Candida, in particular, is a threat because fungus strains are becoming resistant to the medications used to cure it, according to the researchers. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the overwhelming number of cases go undiagnosed each year. In 2021, they were responsible for 9 million doctor visits, 75,000 hospitalizations, and more than 7,000 deaths. They account for 1.5 million annual deaths around the world.

At last month's Indian Premier League auction, Harry Brook is still struggling to explain how it felt to be an overnight millionaire. To be honest, I haven't got many words to write.' I knew I'd be selected for that much, but I didn't think I'd be picked up for that much,' says England's new global star of the £1.325 million contract he now has with Sunrisers Hyderabad. "I'm not motivated by money, not by love," I'd say. Naturally, it's a nice touch, but I do not want to play cricket for the best clubs and play for England as long as I can. Yes, the IPL was a big dream for me, and the funds are a huge bonus, but not all be end all. I play because I love batting.'

DAVID COVERDALE: Matthew Fisher went from dreaming of a dream to nightmare in less than a month. With his second ball, the Yorkshire bowler made his England Test debut in Barbados last March, memorably taking a wicket. However, he sustained a stress fracture of the back that had sidelined him until the last game of the summer in his first match back for his county in April. Fisher's fledgling career has been plagued by injuries, and they've left him poor and reduced him to tears in the past. However, this time, his spirits remained boosted despite being picked to play for his country. He promised to return more than ever, and Harry Brooker, Yorkshire's strength and conditioning coach, received a specific instruction from him as he began his new recovery.

'If you haven't seen Abi, could you alert or get her to give me a call,' Mr Fisher wrote on Facebook.'

Just six months after she gave birth to their daughter, Abi Fisher's husband pleaded guilty to murdering her. Matthew Fisher, 29, appeared via video connection from HMP Leeds for a plea, trial, and preparation hearing, which was arraigned and pleaded guilty to Abi's murder at Leeds Crown Court on Tuesday. Fisher is believed to have murdered Abi between July 7 and July 10 this year, and she died as a result of strangulation. The couple welcomed their daughter Sydney, who was born through IVF in January this year. Abi from Castleford was last seen leaving her house in Walton Park Street around midnight on July 8, but her family told investigators she did not tell anyone where she was going. West Yorkshire Police (WYP) launched a missing person investigation, and the Castleford community undertook detectives to try and find the mother-of-one.
