Morphological transition in the human fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum.
Considerable information has accumulated recently about specific genes of Histoplasma capsulatum that are expressed during the process of adaptation when the organism undergoes morphological transition at the onset of infection. The study of these genes is crucial to identify targets for the development of novel antifungal agents.
