Congenic strains for genetic analysis of virulence traits in Cryptococcus gattii.

Infection and immunity - 1 Jul 2013

Zhu Pinkuan, Zhai Bing, Lin Xiaorong, Idnurm Alexander

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcus gattii is responsible for a large outbreak of potentially fatal disease that started in the late 1990s on Vancouver Island, Canada. How this fungus and the outbreak isolates in particular cause disease in immunocompetent people is unknown, with differing hypotheses. To explore geneti...
