Malassezia yeast exist on all humans and have long been associated with healthy and diseased skin. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Sparber et al. (2019) and Limon et al. (2019) present murine models for Malassezia/host interaction and describe a role for Malassezia in inflammatory skin and gut disease.
