clonality and recombination in genetically differentiated subgroups of cryptococcus gattii.cryptococcus gattii is a pathogenic yeast that together with cryptococcus neoformans causes cryptococcosis in humans and animals. high numbers of viable c. gattii propagules can be obtained from certain species of australian eucalyptus camaldulensis trees, and an epidemiological link between eucalyptus colonization and human exposure has been proposed. however, the highest prevalence of c. gattii cryptococcosis occurs in papua new guinea and in regions of australia where the eucalypt species imp ...200516087745
natural habitat of cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii.environmental isolations have established that cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii appears to have a specific ecological association with eucalyptus camaldulensis. so far, we have isolated c. neoformans var. gattii on 35 separate occasions, all from samples associated with e. camaldulensis. the global distribution of e. camaldulensis appears to correspond to the epidemiologic distribution of cryptococcosis caused by c. neoformans var. gattii. no other environmental source for the fungus has yet ...19902199524
