Developing a diagnostic assay for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and investigating the interaction of Pneumocystis murina and respiratory syncytial virus during co-infection in mice
Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) is an AIDS-defining illness that is caused by an opportunistic fungal pathogen, Pneumocystis jirovecii. In immunocompromised individuals, P. jirovecii can result in fatal pneumonia, and healthy individuals can be reservoirs for P. jirovecii. PCP places a significant …
