Unisexual reproduction in the global human fungal pathogen <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i>

2025-06-03

Abstract excerpt

The human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus species complex (encompassing C. neoformans , C. deneoformans , and the C. gattii species complexes) exhibit diversity in sexual reproduction, including α- a mating, pseudosexual reproduction, as well as unisexual reproduction initiated from a single isolate or between isolates of the same mating type. A central conundrum is that while most Cryptococcus natural populati...
