Linking fungal morphogenesis with virulence

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenic fungi have become an increasingly common cause of systemic disease in healthy people and those with impaired immune systems. Although a vast number of fungal species inhabit our planet, just a small number are pathogens, and one feature that links many of them is the ability to differentiate morphologically from mould to yeast, or yeast to mould. Morphological differentiation between yeast and mould...
