Abstract excerpt
A cluster of antigenic, genomic, karyotypic, isoenzymatic and morphological differences have been reported among Pneumocystis populations. Multilocus enzyme electrophoresis revealed strong linkage disequilibrium suggesting that Pneumocystis genotypes from different hosts have been genetically isolated from each other for a very long time. At least in some cases, genetic diversity is associated with phenotypic...
