Cryptococcus neoformans is a ubiquitous human fungal pathogen that causes meningoencephalitis in predominantly immunocompromised hosts. The fungus is typically haploid, and sexual reproduction...
Many Globally Isolated AD Hybrid Strains of Cryptococcus neoformans Originated in Africa (2007)
Anastasia P. Litvintseva, Xiaorong Lin, Irka Templeton, Joseph Heitman, Thomas G. Mitchell
Interspecific and intervarietal hybridization may contribute to the biological diversity of fungal populations. Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic yeast and the most common fungal cause of...

Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici, a filamentous ascomycete, is an important root pathogen of cereals that causes take-all disease and results in severe crop losses worldwide. Previously we...
Litvintseva, Anastasia P., Marra, Robert E., Nielsen, Kirsten, Heitman, Joseph, Vilgalys, Rytas, Mitchell, Thomas G.
The most common cause of fungal meningitis in humans, Cryptococcus neoformans serotype A, is a basidiomycetous yeast with a bipolar mating system. However, the vast majority (>99.9%) of C. neoformans...
Comparative Analysis of Environmental and Clinical Populations of Cryptococcus neoformans
Litvintseva, Anastasia P., Kestenbaum, Lori, Vilgalys, Rytas, Mitchell, Thomas G.
Cryptococcus neoformans is a major, global cause of meningoencephalitis in immunocompromised patients. Despite advances in the molecular epidemiology of C. neoformans, its population structure and...

Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen that has evolved over the past 40 million years into three distinct varieties or sibling species (gattii, grubii, and neoformans). Each variety manifests...
Litvintseva, Anastasia P., Thakur, Rameshwari, Vilgalys, Rytas, Mitchell, Thomas G.
We applied multilocus sequence typing (MLST) to investigate the population structure and mode of reproduction of Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii (serotype A). This MLST system utilizes 12...
