Environmental Factors That Contribute to the Maintenance of Cryptococcus neoformans Pathogenesis

Abstract excerpt

The ability of microorganisms to colonise and display an intracellular lifestyle within a host body increases their fitness to survive and avoid extinction. This host–pathogen association drives microbial evolution, as such organisms are under selective pressure and can become more pathogenic. Some of these microorganisms can quickly spread through the environment via transmission. The non-transmittable fungal...
