The ability of microorganisms to colonise and display an intracellular lifestyle within a host
body increases their fitness to survive and avoid extinction. This host–pathogen association …

Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen that causes almost half a million deaths
each year. It is believed that most humans are infected with C. neoformans, possibly in a …
