Lung colonization by Aspergillus fumigatus is controlled by ZNF77
Nature Communications, 2018 Aspergillus fumigatus regularly colonises the lungs but in the context of respiratory disease can be associated with increased pathology. Here the authors show mutations in ZNF77 result in altered bronchial epithelial characteristics and enhanced fungal ...

Insight into the genomes of dominant yeast symbionts of European spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Spruce bark beetle Ips typographus can trigger outbreaks on spruce that results in significant losses in the forest industry. It has been suggested that symbiotic microorganisms inhabiting the gut of bark beetles facilitate the colonization of plant ...

Two cases of fungal keratitis caused by Metarhizium anisopliae [PDF]
, 2018 We present two cases of keratitis due to Metarhizium anisopliae in geographically separated areas of the United States. The isolates were microscopically similar but morphologically different and were identified by ribosomal DNA sequencing. Both isolates
