Cryptococcus spp., in particular Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii, have an
enormous impact on human health worldwide. The global burden of cryptococcal meningitis …

Phylogenetic analysis of 11 genetic loci and results from many genotyping studies revealed
significant genetic diversity with the pathogenic Cryptococcus gattii/Cryptococcus …

Plant‐pathogenic fungi secrete effector proteins to facilitate infection. We describe extensive
improvements to EffectorP, the first machine learning classifier for fungal effector prediction …

Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are the two etiologic agents of
cryptococcosis. They belong to the phylum Basidiomycota and can be readily distinguished …

Eukaryotic filamentous plant pathogens secrete effector proteins that modulate the host cell
to facilitate infection. Computational effector candidate identification and subsequent …

Fungi must meet four criteria to infect humans: growth at human body temperatures,
circumvention or penetration of surface barriers, lysis and absorption of tissue, and …

Cryptococcosis has evolved into a major invasive fungal disease over the last century. Its
primary epidemiology has been focused on three major outbreaks of disease that reflects …

The plant apoplast is integral to intercellular signalling, transport and plant–pathogen
interactions. Plant pathogens deliver effectors both into the apoplast and inside host cells …

Abstract Seminal work by Louis Pasteur revealed the contribution of fungi–yeasts and
microsporidia to agroindustry and disease in animals, respectively. More than 150 years …

Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes approximately
625,000 deaths per year from nervous system infections. Here, we leveraged a unique …
