摘要: Although once thought to be clonal, and thus undergo asexual reproduction, accumulating evidence now suggests that many human fungal pathogens retain sexual reproductive machinery or parasexual reproduction. Iuliana V. Ene Richard J. Bennett discuss the cycles of three most prominent — Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans Aspergillus fumigatus.
