Interactions between Candida albicans and the resident microbiota
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Candida albicans is a prevalent, opportunistic human fungal pathogen. It usually dwells in the human body as a commensal, however, once in its pathogenic state, it causes diseases ranging from debilitating superficial to life-threatening systemic ...

Ecological Factors Mediate Immunity and Parasitic Co-Infection in Sea Fan Octocorals
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 The interplay among environment, demography, and host-parasite interactions is a challenging frontier. In the ocean, fundamental changes are occurring due to anthropogenic pressures, including increased disease outbreaks on coral reefs.

Landscape Connectivity Limits the Predicted Impact of Fungal Pathogen Invasion
Journal of Fungi, 2020 Infectious diseases are major drivers of biodiversity loss. The risk of fungal diseases to the survival of threatened animals in nature is determined by a complex interplay between host, pathogen and environment.

Body mass and hibernation microclimate may predict bat susceptibility to white‐nose syndrome
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 In multihost disease systems, differences in mortality between species may reflect variation in host physiology, morphology, and behavior. In systems where the pathogen can persist in the environment, microclimate conditions, and the adaptation of the ...

Role of Protein Mannosylation in the Candida tropicalis-Host Interaction
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Mannans are components of the fungal wall attached to proteins via N- or O-linkages. In Candida albicans, Och1 is an α1,6-mannosyltransferase that adds the first mannose unit to the N-linked mannan outer chain; whereas Pmr1 is an ion pump that imports ...
