Abstract excerpt

The genetic affiliation of a large number of isolates of the Cryptococcus neoformans species complex from environmental sources in Brazil has been investigated using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). The strains of C. neoformans isolated from a single tree, as well as from neighbouri...
