Continental Drift and Speciation of the Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii Species Complexes

20 Apr 2017

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Genomic analysis has placed the origins of two human-pathogenic fungi, the Cryptococcus gattii species complex and the Cryptococcus neoformans species complex, in South America and Africa, respectively. Molecular clock calculations suggest that the two species separated ~80 to 100 million years ago. This time closely approximates the breakup of the supercontinent Pangea, which gave rise to South America...
