Progresses and Perspectives of Ecology and Population Structure of Cryptococcus neoformans

Abstract

Abstract:

Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic fungi which is widely spread in the environment, and its epidemiology is closely related to the ecology of the various variants. In recent years, with the gradual increasing of cryptococcosis incidence, the study of ecology of its various variants, population structure in natural environment and changes in seasonal epidemics has great significance for effective prevention and control of the occurrence and transmission of cryptococcosis. This paper reviews the advancements in the study of ecology, population structure in natural environment and changes in seasonal epidemics of Cryptococcus neoformans at domestic and abroad.

Key words: Cryptococcus neoformans, ecology, population structure, seasonal change
