Journal ArticleDOI
A rare genotype of Cryptococcus gattii caused the cryptococcosis outbreak on Vancouver Island (British Columbia, Canada)
Sarah E. Kidd,Ferry Hagen,R L Tscharke,M Huynh,Karen H Bartlett,Murray Fyfe,Laura MacDougall,Teun Boekhout,Kyung J. Kwon-Chung,Wieland Meyer +9 more
TL;DR: The emergence of this usually tropical pathogen on Vancouver Island highlights the changing distribution of this genotype and emphasizes the importance of an ongoing collaborative effort to monitor the global epidemiology of this yeast.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Typing of IberoAmerican Cryptococcus neoformans Isolates
TL;DR: To acquire basic knowledge of Cryptococcus neoformans in IberoAmerican countries, 340 clinical, veterinary, and environmental isolates from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Guatemala, and Spain were typed by using M13 polymerase chain reaction-fingerprinting and orotidine monophosphate pyrophosphorylase gene restriction fragment length polymorphsm analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consensus multi-locus sequence typing scheme for Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii.

TL;DR: This communication describes the consensus multi-locus typing scheme established by the Cryptococcal Working Group I (Genotyping of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii) of the International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM) using seven unlinked genetic loci for global strain genotyping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid genotypes in the pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans
Teun Boekhout,Bart Theelen,Mara R. Diaz,Jack W. Fell,Wim C. J. Hop,Edwin C.A. Abeln,Françoise Dromer,Wieland Meyer +7 more
TL;DR: The authors propose the existence of two species, C. neoformans (Sanfelice) Vuillemin and C. bacillisporus Kwon-Chung, which differ in geographical distribution, serotypes and ecological origin, and within each species three AFLP genotypes occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
One fungus, which genes? Development and assessment of universal primers for potential secondary fungal DNA barcodes.

TL;DR: A novel high fidelity primer pair for TEF1α has potential as a supplementary DNA barcode with superior resolution to ITS, while TOPI and LNS2 are attractive for the Pucciniomycotina, for which universal primers for ribosomal subunits often fail.
