Molecular and phenotypic description of Pneumocystis wakefieldiae sp. nov., a new species in rats.

2004-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Organisms in the genus Pneumocystis are fungi that reside in the lungs of mammals that can cause a lethal pneumonia once the hosts lose immune function. The genus Pneumocystis contains many members, but only two species have been described formally to date, P. carinii, the type species found in rats, and P. jirovecii, resident in human beings. Rats have been shown to harbor another organism in addition to P. carin...
