Invasive fungal diseases are rare in individuals with intact immunity. This, together with the
fact that there are only a few species that account for most mycotic diseases, implies a …

Few among the millions of fungal species fulfill four basic conditions necessary to infect
humans: high temperature tolerance, ability to invade the human host, lysis and absorption …

Practical experiments drive important scientific discoveries in biology, but theory‐based
research studies also contribute novel—sometimes paradigm‐changing—findings. Here, we …

The most enigmatic aspect of the rise of Candida auris as a human pathogen is that it
emerged simultaneously on three continents, with each clade being genetically distinct …

Among fungal pathogens, Cryptococcus neoformans has gained great importance among
the scientific community of several reasons. This fungus is the causative agent of …

Fungi must meet four criteria to infect humans: growth at human body temperatures,
circumvention or penetration of surface barriers, lysis and absorption of tissue, and …

Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant yeast first described in 2009 that has since
caused healthcare-associated outbreaks of severe human infections around the world. In …

The effects of climate change and natural disasters on fungal pathogens and the risks for
fungal diseases remain incompletely understood. In this literature review, we examined how …

The Flexible Phenotype attempts a true synthesis of physiology, behaviour, and ecology by
developing an empirical argument that describes the intimate connections between …

Sporothrix schenckii, previously assumed to be the sole agent of human and animal
sporotrichosis, is in fact a species complex. Recently recognized taxa include S. brasiliensis …
