Skin deep: modelling fungal skin infections

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

At any one time, between one fifth and one quarter of the world’s population has a fungal infection. These infections of skin, hair and nails are difficult to treat. Modelling these infections provides a better understanding of how disease occurs, but there’s a problem… these fungi only infect humans.
