Actividades como la acuicultura y la pesca brindan empleo y alimento a diferentes poblaciones alrededor del mundo; sin embargo, los peces teleósteos son susceptibles a infecciones fúngicas que comprometen su utilización. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la frecuencia de infección fúngica en peces teleósteos comerciales, a través de una revisión sistemática. Se incluyeron un total de 26 artículos en el análisis de datos; de estos, 1 409 peces fueron identificados como positivos para hongos. Esta interacción incluyó 25 especies de peces teleósteos y 24 especies de hongos. Las principales especies hospedadoras fueron Oreochromis niloticus y Salmo salar con 574 (40,73 %) y 539 (38,25 %) peces positivos, mientras que el hongo más frecuente fue Saprolegnia spp. (882 peces positivos y 62,59 %) a nivel de género y Saprolegnia parasitica (463 peces positivos y 32,86 %) a nivel de especie. En general, los peces positivos fueron de acuicultura (1 265 peces positivos, 89,77 %). Los hongos se identificaron principalmente mediante técnicas moleculares (837 peces positivos, 59,40 %), donde la clase Oomycota fue la más frecuente (1 372 peces positivos, 97,37 %). El perfil de la infección fúngica, así como el análisis de la relación entre peces teleósteos y hongos patógenos, son esenciales para establecer estrategias de monitoreo sanitario para estas infecciones de alto impacto en las poblaciones de peces.
