A recent study showed that a rare pathogen known as Cryptococcus gattii poses the potential to infect even the healthiest person. This is due to a unique evolutionary trait of this pathogen that infects the host through one that neutralises the body's immune response against it. Scientists at the University of Birmingham have explained how this pathogen responds to the human immune response and triggers a 'division of labour' in its invading cells which can lead to life-threatening infections.
