The human commensal yeast, Candida albicans, has an ancient origin.

Fungal genetics and biology : FG & B - 1 May 2005

Lott Timothy J, Fundyga Ruth E, Kuykendall Randall J, Arnold Jonathan

Abstract excerpt

Candida albicans, the primary causative agent of candidiasis, is a ubiquitous member of the human flora and is capable of causing severe invasive disease. Despite its importance as a human pathogen, little is known concerning those factors creating and maintaining genetic diversity within the species and how extant strains reflect their evolutionary history. Based on nucleotide polymorphism frequencies, we...
