| decaying wood in tree trunk hollows as a natural substrate for cryptococcus neoformans and other yeast-like fungi of clinical interest. | the occurrence of cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans and other yeast-like fungi of clinical interest in decaying wood inside tree trunk hollows, bark and other plant materials is reported. the var. neoformans was isolated from 3 of 45 (6.6%) wood and one of 390 eucalyptus bark samples. two of the positive wood samples came from a tree trunk hollow of butea monosperma (family: papilionaceae) growing in roshan ara garden, old delhi whereas the third was from a trunk hollow of tamarindus indic ... | 2001 | 11554580 |
| decayed wood of syzygium cumini and ficus religiosa living trees in delhi/new delhi metropolitan area as natural habitat of cryptococcus neoformans. | the isolation is reported of cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii and c. n. var. neoformans from decayed wood inside trunk hollows of syzygium cumini and of c. n. var. neoformans from ficus religiosa trees in the delhi/new delhi metropolitan area. fourteen of sixty-six (21%) s. cumini trees investigated proved to be positive, seven for each variety. the two varieties never co-occurred in the same hollow. c. n. var. neoformans was also isolated from three of seventeen ficus religiosa-trees. two of ... | 2003 | 12964711 |
| occurrence and significance of cryptococcus neoformans in vegetables and fruits. | cryptococcus neoformans was isolated from three of 437 (0.6%) samples of a wide variety of vegetables collected from a number of markets in delhi. the vegetables yielding c. neoformans were tomato, lycopersicon esculentum (1/70), 'vegetable sponge', luffa cylindrica (1/56) and brinjal, solanum melongena (1/55). only solitary samples of these three vegetables were found to be positive. in vitro studies at 25 degrees c revealed that a reference c. neoformans isolate readily colonized, as did candi ... | 2000 | 15597680 |
| efficacy of swabbing versus a conventional technique for isolation of cryptococcus neoformans from decayed wood in tree trunk hollows. | the efficacy of swabbing versus a conventional sedimentation technique was evaluated for sampling of decayed wood in tree trunk hollows for isolation of cryptococcus neoformans. of 52 samples of decayed wood, bark or other plant debris originating from 35 living trees, 42 wood samples yielded c. neoformans. the positive samples included 40 collected from 31 syzygium cumini trees growing along roadsides in old delhi, whereas the remaining two were from inside tree trunk fissures of ficus religios ... | 2005 | 15712609 |
| distribution of cryptococcus gattii and cryptococcus neoformans in decayed trunk wood of syzygium cumini trees in north-western india. | the aim of this study is to report the regional distribution of cryptococcus. gattii and cryptococcus. neoformans in decayed wood inside trunk hollows of syzygium cumini trees (java plum, indian black berry) investigated in amritsar (panjab), meerut cantt. and bulandshahr (uttar pradesh) and delhi, in north-western india. two hundred and seventeen wood samples collected from 74 s. cumini trees were investigated. this includes 7 known positive s. cumini trees in delhi subjected to a mycological s ... | 2006 | 17071556 |
| long-distance dispersal and recombination in environmental populations of cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii from india. | the basidiomycete yeast cryptococcus neoformans is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised hosts throughout the world. the sporadic nature of the infection and the limited empirical evidence for direct human-to-human transmission have led to the belief that infections in humans are predominantly caused by the inhalation of basidiospores from environmental sources. therefore, analysing the structure of environmental populations of c. neoformans can significantly increa ... | 2008 | 18451060 |
| the expanding host tree species spectrum of cryptococcus gattii and cryptococcus neoformans and their isolations from surrounding soil in india. | this study reports the widespread prevalence of cryptococcus neoformans and cryptococcus gattii in decayed wood inside trunk hollows of 14 species representing 12 families of trees and from soil near the base of various host trees from delhi and several places in the indian states of uttar pradesh, haryana, tamil nadu and chandigarh union territory. of the 311 trees from which samples were obtained, 64 (20.5%) were found to contain strains of the c. neoformans species complex. the number of tree ... | 2008 | 18608895 |
