Global Molecular Epidemiology of<i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i>and<i>Cryptococcus gattii</i>: An Atlas of the Molecular Types

Abstract excerpt

Cryptococcosis is a fungal disease affecting more than one million people per year worldwide. The main etiological agents of cryptococcosis are the two sibling species Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii that present numerous differences in geographical distribution, ecological niches, epidemiology, pathobiology, clinical presentation and molecular characters. Genotyping of the two Cryptococcus...
