Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic fungi populate a wide range of environments and infect a diversity of host species. Despite this substantial biological flexibility, the impact of interactions between fungi and their hosts on the evolution of pathogenicity remains unclear. We studied how repeated interactions between the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans and relevant environmental and mammalian host cells-amoeba and mouse...
