The vast and mysterious world of the ocean has always fascinated scientists and explorers alike. While we often associate marine environments with beauty and wonder, there are hidden complexities that can pose unexpected threats to human health. One such enigma revolves around algal infections in humans, a marine mystery that researchers are actively investigating. The captivating allure of the ocean conceals a complex web of interactions that extend beyond the realm of marine life. While we often appreciate the beauty of algae in various forms, from vibrant seaweeds to microscopic phytoplankton, there exists a lesser-known facet of these aquatic organisms that poses a unique challenge to human health–algal infections.
