The introduction of the first list priority pathogenic fungi by World Health Organization stresses need to research and develop public health actions mitigate infections caused fungi. One those involves water disinfection systems, which comprise classical alternative methods that have been developed in last decades. Thereby, this work reviews such as chlorination, ozonation, ultraviolet (UV) treatments advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) photo-Fenton, photocatalysis, or couplings UV with peroxides. matrices aquatic systems (sewage, groundwater, drinking water, among others) were considered. A bibliometric analysis is performed initially, then some aspects resistance antifungals are presented, efficiency diverse reduction fungal loading also revised. Herein, it shown role disinfecting agents (e.g., chlorine, hydroxyl radical, light) their effects on structures direct DNA damage, indirect damage due action radicals). Moreover, gaps, treatment antifungal-resistant limited information about combinations AOPs, related polluted fungi, identified.
