Clonality and Recombination in Genetically Differentiated Subgroups of Cryptococcus gattii
Leona T. Campbell,Bart J. Currie,Mark B. Krockenberger,Richard Malik,Wieland Meyer,Joseph Heitman,Dee A. Carter +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of three geographically distinct clinical and veterinary populations of C. gattii from Australia and Papua New Guinea found that the VGI genotype propagates clonally on eucalypts in Australia and on an unknown substrate in PapuaNew Guinea, with infection initiated by an unidentified infectious propagule.
Journal ArticleDOI
The internal transcribed spacers and 5.8S rRNA gene show extensive diversity among isolates of the Cryptococcus neoformans species complex
Masakazu Katsu,Sarah E. Kidd,Akikazu Ando,Maria Luiza Moretti-Branchini,Yuzuru Mikami,Kazuko Nishimura,Wieland Meyer +6 more
TL;DR: ITS sequencing is a useful technique for genotyping the three C. neoformans varieties and for subtyping within C. gattii.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive environmental survey was carried out during 2012-2015 to elucidate the distribution of Cryptococcus neoformans and C. gattii in the Mediterranean basin, and showed that both carob and olive trees represent an important niche for these yeasts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monika Novak Babič,Nina Gunde-Cimerman,Márta Vargha,Zsófia Tischner,Donát Magyar,Cristina Veríssimo,Raquel Sabino,Carla Viegas,Wieland Meyer,João Brandão +9 more
TL;DR: This white paper focuses on one group of contaminants known to cause allergies, opportunistic infections and intoxications: Fungi and presents a review on their occurrence, ecology and physiology.

TL;DR: The emergence of distinct populations of Cryptococcus gattii in the temperate North American Pacific Northwest was surprising, as this species was previously thought to be confined to tropical and semitropical regions.
