Strain heterogeneity in a non-pathogenic fungus highlights factors contributing to virulence

2024-03-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Fungal pathogens exhibit extensive strain heterogeneity, including variation in virulence. Whether closely related non-pathogenic species also exhibit strain heterogeneity remains unknown. Here, we comprehensively characterized the pathogenic potentials (i.e., the ability to cause morbidity and mortality) of 16 diverse strains of Aspergillus fischeri , a non-pathogenic close relative of the maj...
