title: Molecular genetic technology transfer to pathogenic fungi.
abstract: Histoplasma capsulatum, the best fungal model for studying intracellular parasitism, is now becoming a model system for evaluating the molecular basis of virulence. This brief review summarizes the available tools and emerging techniques for molecular genetic studies of H. capsulatum and related fungal pathogens.
