Exploring Virulence Determinants of Filamentous Fungal Pathogens through Interactions with Soil Amoebae
Infections with filamentous fungi are common to all animals, but attention is rising especially due to the increasing incidence and high mortality rates observed in immunocompromised human individuals. Here, Aspergillus fumigatus and other members of its genus are the leading causative agents. Attri...
