Abstract

Aouacheria <i>et al</i> question the interpretation of contemporary assays to monitor programmed cell death with apoptosis-like features (A-PCD) in <i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i> Although our study focuses on fungal A-PCD for host immune surveillance and infectious outcomes, the experimental approach incorporates multiple independent A-PCD markers and genetic manipulations based on fungal rather than mammalian orthologs to circumvent the limitations associated with any single approach.
