Host environmental conditions induce small fungal cell size and alter population heterogeneity in <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i>

2020-01-06

Abstract excerpt

Fungal morphology significantly impacts the host response. Filamentation and tissue penetration by Candida and Aspergillus species are essential for virulence, while growth as a yeast allows the thermal dimorphic fungi Coccidiodes, Histoplasma, and Talaromyces to reside inside phagocytes and disseminate. The basidiomycete Cryptococcus neoformans exhibits an unusual yeast-to-titan transition thought to enhance...
