Comparative Genomics of Sibling Species of Fonsecaea Associated with Human Chromoblastomycosis
9 Oct 2017
Abstract excerpt
Fonsecaea and Cladophialophora are genera of black yeast-like fungi harboring agents of a mutilating implantation disease in humans, along with strictly environmental species. The current hypothesis suggests that those species reside in somewhat adverse microhabitats, and pathogenic siblings share virulence factors enabling survival in mammal tissue after coincidental inoculation driven by pathogenic adaptation....
