Histoplasma capsulatum is the most prevalent cause of fungal respiratory disease. The disease extent and outcomes are the result of the complex interaction between the pathogen and a host's immune system. The focus of our paper consists in presenting the current knowledge regarding the multiple facets of the dynamic host-pathogen relationship in the context of the virulence arsenal displayed by the fungus and the innate and adaptive immune responses of the host.
荚膜组织胞浆菌是引起真菌性呼吸道疾病最常见的病因。疾病的严重程度和转归是病原体与宿主免疫系统复杂相互作用的结果。我们论文的重点在于,在真菌所展现的毒力武器库以及宿主的固有免疫和适应性免疫反应的背景下,介绍关于动态宿主 - 病原体关系多个方面的现有知识。
