Characterization of a High-Affinity Copper Transporter <i>CTR1a</i> in the White-Nose Syndrome Causing Fungal Pathogen <i>Pseudogymnoascus destructans</i>

Copper is an essential micronutrient and the ability to scavenge tightly bound or trace levels of copper ions at the host–pathogen interface is vital for fungal proliferation in animal hosts. Recent studies suggest that trace metal ion acquisition is critical for the establishment and propagation of...
