This paper develops genetic tools for Emergomyces africanus, including a fluorescent reporter strain and CRISPR/Cas9 system, to study its pathogenesis in infection models.

This study uses live-cell imaging to analyze real-time responses of fungal hyphae to antifungals, revealing differences in drug efficacy between Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans.

This study identifies a specific stage of Aspergillus fumigatus spore development that activates dendritic cells to trigger allergic airway inflammation and shows antifungal drugs can reduce this process.
