Abstract Purpose of Review Candida auris is a multi-drug-resistant pathogen with many phenotypic variations that contribute to its pathogenicity. This review aims to characterize its phenotypic heterogeneity while highlighting the variants that should be prioritized in future research to advance therapies against C. auris . Recent Findings As the Earth warms, fungi like Candida experience selective pressure to tolerate these higher temperatures and become the few fungal species capable of successfully colonizing the host. The most recent of these is C. auris , which has become an acute concern due to its rapid emergence, high mortality rate, and resistance to all known classes of antifungals. Summary Several studies have contributed rapidly to our general understanding of C. auris , but not enough has been experimentally verified on its morphological variation and its ability to maintain a successful commensal lifestyle on the human skin. Because of its distinct phenotypic variations compared to other fungal species, especially under the selective pressures of its host, C. auris presents a unique opportunity to identify unique targets and strategies to contribute to the antifungal pipeline and control emergent pathogens.

Abstract Purpose of Review The invasive Asian mosquito vector— Anopheles stephensi Liston, 1901—is poised to greatly complicate malaria eradication efforts across Africa. This species has been reported in an increasing number of African nations and has the potential to introduce malaria into most of Africa’s largest cities. Climate change is a dominant force changing population dynamics across the continent and driving human populations to migrate to urban centers. Recent Findings This work presents all high-quality surveillance data documenting An . stephensi to date, including an overlooked report of the species collected in Egypt in 1966. Finally, we provide detailed images of adult and larval morphology and bionomics descriptions. Summary Based on our current knowledge of Anopheles stephensi , we explore how climate change may impact its distribution and malaria rates in the coming decades. We also identify key knowledge gaps related to this species invasion including the most up-to-date information on the taxonomy, morphological characters, and bionomics of An . stephensi . Tools that are publicly available via VectorMap are also presented along with guidance on strengthening surveillance programs targeting An . stephensi using these tools.
