Genomic insights into the host specific adaptation of the Pneumocystis genus

Cissé, Ma et al. utilize genomic data from Pneumocystis species infecting macaques, rabbit, dogs and rats to investigate the molecular basis of host specificity in Pneumocystis. Their analyses provide insight to the specific adaptations enabling the infection of humans by P. jirovecii.
