Cryptococcus neoformans Virulence Is Enhanced after Growth in the Genetically Malleable Host Dictyostelium discoideum

Steenbergen, Judith N., Nosanchuk, Joshua D., Malliaris, Stephanie D., Casadevall, Arturo

Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated, environmental fungus that can cause life-threatening meningitis. Pathogenicity of C. neoformans for macrophages and vertebrate hosts may be a mechanism...

Interaction of Blastomyces dermatitidis, Sporothrix schenckii, and Histoplasma capsulatum with Acanthamoeba castellanii

Steenbergen, Judith N., Nosanchuk, Joshua D., Malliaris, Stephanie D., Casadevall, Arturo

Several dimorphic fungi are important human pathogens, but the origin and maintenance of virulence in these organisms is enigmatic, since an interaction with a mammalian host is not a requisite for...

Cryptococcus neoformans α Strains Preferentially Disseminate to the Central Nervous System during Coinfection

Nielsen, Kirsten, Cox, Gary M., Litvintseva, Anastasia P., Mylonakis, Eleftherios, Malliaris, Stephanie D., Benjamin, Daniel K., ...

Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen that has evolved over the past 40 million years into three distinct varieties or sibling species (gattii, grubii, and neoformans). Each variety manifests...
