Fungal Pathogens in Grasslands [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Grasslands are major primary producers and function as major components of important watersheds. Although a concise definition of grasslands cannot be given using a physiognomic or structural approach, grasslands can be described as vegetation ...

Surface Architecture of Fungal Pathogens [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Surface components in fungal cells include cell wall molecules and, in certain cases, capsular structures (Figure (Figure1)1) and extracellular matrix components. In pathogens, surface molecules are responsible for key events during interaction with the host (Nimrichter et al., 2005).

Trends in Molecular Diagnostics and Genotyping Tools Applied for Emerging Sporothrix Species
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Sporotrichosis is the most important subcutaneous mycosis that affects humans and animals worldwide. The mycosis is caused after a traumatic inoculation of fungal propagules into the host and may follow an animal or environmental transmission route.
