CRYPTOCOCCOSIS IN COLUMBIFORMES AT THE SAN DIEGO ZOO [PDF]
Two cases of cryptococcosis in columbiformes exhibited at the San Diego Zoo are described. The organism isolated from the first case had morphological, chemical and temperature growth characteristics of C. neoformans. The culture from case 2 died before it could be examined biochemically or by mouse inoculation.
