Genetic mechanisms and biological processes underlying host response to ophidiomycosis (snake fungal disease) inferred from tissue‐specific transcriptome analyses

Abstract excerpt

Emerging infectious diseases in wildlife species caused by pathogenic fungi are of growing concern, yet crucial knowledge gaps remain for diseases with potentially large impacts. For example, there is detailed knowledge about host pathology and mechanisms underlying response for chytridiomycosis in amphibians and white-nose syndrome in bats, but such information is lacking for other more recently described fungal...
