Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Cryptococcus species cause infections in a variety of hosts and while many discoveries shed light on how infection and disease occur, more remains to be discovered. For this Special Issue, we invite original research articles or review papers on all aspects of Cryptococcus infections and pathogenesis. Potential topics include but are not limited to: microbial virulence factors involved in infection/pathogenesis, host responses that affect infection/pathogenesis, host‒pathogen interactions, Cryptococcus transmission, antifungal therapies, and alternative disease models. We look forward to reading your contributions.
Dr. Erin McClelland
Guest Editor
