Abdulla Al Hatmi,
a PhD student at CBS, Utrecht, The Netherlands has started a taxonomic and
phylogenetic study of medical Fusarium species. He would like to receive
Fusarium strains with full clinical descriptions, and in return will offer free
sequence data and eventual joint publication of case reports. The project
contributes to the ISHAM Working Group Medical Fusarium convened by Anne van
Diepeningen. |
Emerging Microbes & Infections (EMI)
is a new open access, fully peer-reviewed international journal. The
purpose of EMI is to provide a forum to publish a wide range of scientific
reports related to emerging infectious diseases, especially with new
information from developing countries where such diseases are constantly
arising and being discovered regularly. It will report discoveries of emerging
microbes (bacteria, viruses, fungi and other pathogens) including their
previously unknown phenotypic or genotypic characteristics, as well as cutting
edge information associated with microbial mechanisms of pathogenesis, immune
evasion and protection, clinical presentation and outcome, drug efficacy and
its resistance, epidemiology and other issues important to global health.
