CNS infections continue to rise in incidence in conjunction with increases in
immunocompromised populations or conditions that contribute to the emergence of …

Extracellular proteases belong to the main virulence factors of pathogenic fungi. Their
proteolytic activities plays a crucial role in the acquisition of nutrients from the external …

While emerging fungi threaten global biodiversity, the paucity of fungal genome assemblies
impedes thoroughly characterizing epidemics and developing effective mitigation strategies …

Wildlife diseases are contributing to the current Earth's sixth mass extinction; one disease,
chytridiomycosis, has caused mass amphibian die-offs. While global spread of a …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen and a leading cause of death
in immunocompromised individuals. The interactions of this yeast with host phagocytes are …

Improved sequencing technologies have profoundly altered global views of fungal diversity
and evolution. High-throughput sequencing methods are critical for studying fungi due to the …

Environmental fungi are globally ubiquitous and human exposure is near universal.
However, relatively few fungal species are capable of infecting humans, and among fungi …

Invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are emerging as a serious threat to public health and are
associated with high incidence and mortality. IFIs also represent a frequent complication in …

Simple Summary There is limited information on how SARS-CoV-2 reaches the brain. Thus,
this paper examines how, during co-infection, a protease-secreting microbe may facilitate …

Meningitis is a potentially life-threatening infection characterised by the inflammation of the
leptomeningeal membranes. The estimated annual prevalence of 8.7 million cases globally …
