Journal ArticleDOI
Abundance of Pseudallescheria/Scedosporium species in the Australian urban environment suggests a possible source for scedosporiosis including the colonization of airways in cystic fibrosis
TL;DR: A qualitative environmental survey encompassing 25 urban, semirural and rural sites in the greater Sydney region revealed an abundance of Pseudallescheria/Scedosporium, particularly in locations associated with high human activity, highlighting the importance of environmental studies to assess the clinical risk of infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clonality and α-a Recombination in the Australian Cryptococcus gattii VGII Population - An Emerging Outbreak in Australia
Fabian Carriconde,Felix Gilgado,Ian Arthur,David Ellis,Richard Malik,Nathalie van de Wiele,Nathalie van de Wiele,Vincent Robert,Bart J. Currie,Wieland Meyer +9 more
TL;DR: The detection of sexual recombination in MATα-MAT a population in Australia is in accordance with the natural life cycle of C. gattii involving opposite mating types and presents an alternative to the same-sex mating strategy suggested elsewhere.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of DNA-fingerprint analysis in the classification of some species of the Trichoderma aggregate
TL;DR: The results show that RFLP analysis may be used to re-classify the Trichoderma aggregate, and contradict the claim that T. reesei is a subspecies of T. longibrachiatum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical features and epidemiology of cryptococcosis in cats and dogs in California: 93 cases (1988–2010)
Sameer R Trivedi,Jane E. Sykes,Matthew S. Cannon,Erik R. Wisner,Wieland Meyer,Beverly K. Sturges,Peter J Dickinson,Lynelle R. Johnson +7 more
TL;DR: Strains of Cryptococcus spp appeared to have host specificity in dogs and cats and distribution of involved tissues was different between cats and dogs in California and between populations of the present study and those of the previously reported Australian study.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Underlying rheumatological/autoimmune disorders are a previously under-appreciated risk for infection and poor outcome, and the mortality of mucormycosis remains particularly high in the immuno-compromised host.
