Animal models are fundamental to unravel the complex nature of fungal infections in the host context. Here, a versatile murine model of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is described. This model can be used to investigate the establishment and progression of fungal infections after HCT and to elucidate how different transplant variables affect the recovery of host immunity.
