Genomic insights into the host specific adaptation of the <i>Pneumocystis</i> genus and emergence of the human pathogen <i>Pneumocystis jirovecii</i>

2020-07-30

Abstract excerpt

Pneumocystis jirovecii , the fungal agent of human Pneumocystis pneumonia, is closely related to macaque Pneumocystis . Little is known about other Pneumocystis species in distantly related mammals, none of which are capable of establishing infection in humans. The molecular basis of host specificity in Pneumocystis remains unknown as experiments are limited due to an inability to culture any species in vitro...
