A new name (Pneumocystis jiroveci) for Pneumocystis from humans.

Emerging infectious diseases - 1 Sept 2002

Stringer James R, Beard Charles B, Miller Robert F, Wakefield Ann E

Abstract excerpt

The disease known as Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is a major cause of illness and death in persons with impaired immune systems. While the genus Pneumocystis has been known to science for nearly a century, understanding of its members remained rudimentary until DNA analysis showed its extensive diversity. Pneumocystis organisms from different host species have very different DNA sequences, indicating...
