Abstract excerpt
Talaromyces marneffei is a dimorphic fungus that transitions from a filamentous form at 25 °C to a pathogenic yeast form at 37 °C, demonstrating pathogenicity mostly in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with human immunodeficiency virus/AIDS. Though it is one of the most severe infectious fungi in Southeast Asia, the lack of comprehensive genomic analysis has hindered advancement in strain...
