Non-conventional infectious elements in filamentous fungi.

Abstract excerpt

Old data (most often in French) described phenomena involving non-conventional infectious factors in filamentous fungi. Recently, it was shown that two yeast cytoplasmic determinants are similar to known mammalian prions, in that their different states are attributed to conformational changes of normal cellular proteins. In the light of this discovery, fungal elements are now being reconsidered. This review...
