Isolates of <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i> from Infected Animals Reveal Genetic Exchange in Unisexual, α Mating Type Populations

14 Jun 2008

Abstract excerpt

Sexual reproduction and genetic exchange are important for the evolution of fungal pathogens and for producing potentially infective spores. Studies to determine whether sex occurs in the pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii have produced enigmatic results, however: basidiospores are the most likely infective propagules, and clinical isolates are fertile and genetically diverse, consistent with a...
