The origin and maintenance of virulence for the human pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans.

Judith N Steenbergen1, Arturo Casadevall.   

Abstract

The origin of virulence in environmental fungi that have no requirement for animal hosts in their life cycle is enigmatic. Cryptococcus neoformans is a human pathogenic fungus with virulence factors for mammalian pathogenesis that also contribute to environmental survival. C. neoformans virulence may originate from selection pressures imposed by environmental predators.
