Abstract

The balance between reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species production by the host and stress response by fungi is a key axis of the host-pathogen interaction. This review will describe emerging themes in fungal pathogenesis underpinning this axis.

Keywords: Fungal infection biology; Fungi; NADPH-oxidase; Oxidative stress; Reactive nitrogen species; Reactive oxygen species.
