Cryptococcosis: update and emergence of Cryptococcus gattii

Sally J Lester et al. Vet Clin Pathol. 2011 Mar.

Abstract

Cryptococcosis is a fungal disease that occurs throughout the world. Recent reclassification of Cryptococcus species along with a change in the distribution pattern has prompted reevaluation of the organism and the diseases caused by this pathogen. This review highlights the emergence of Cryptococcus gattii as a primary pathogen in North America and summarizes our current understanding of the disease in mammals and birds.
