This protocol is focused on using the recently established planarian infection model system to study host-pathogen interactions during fungal infection. Here, we describe in detail the infection of the planarian Schmidtea mediterranea with the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. This simple and reproducible model system allows for rapid visualization of tissue damage throughout different infection timepoints. We note that this model system has been optimized for use with C. albicans, but should also be applicable for use with other pathogens of interest.
