Polymorphic α‐Glucans as Structural Scaffolds in Cryptococcus Cell Walls for Chitin, Capsule, and Melanin: Insights From 13C and 1H Solid‐State NMR

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Cryptococcus neoformans cell wall α‐1,3‐glucans as dual anchors for melanin and capsule: Solid‐state NMR of intact C. neoformans cells reveals five forms of α‐1,3‐glucans that structurally bridge melanin and capsule layers. These polysaccharides interact with chitin, chitosan, and β‐glucans to create a molecular scaffold that underlies virulence and ...

Disseminated cryptococcosis manifested as a single tumor in an immunocompetent patient, similar to the cutaneous primary forms [PDF]

Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2016
Cryptococcosis is a fungal infection caused by Cryptococcus neoformans that tends to affect immunocompromised individuals. The fungi are mostly acquired by inhalation, which leads to an initial pulmonary infection.

Cryptococcal meningitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans VNI in a koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) with progressive neurological disease

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Nearly all cases of cryptococcosis in koalas are caused by Cryptococcus gattii species complex. A rare case of meningitis due to Cryptococcus neoformans VNI/AFLP1 (abbreviated VNI) is described in a koala with nasal colonisation by both species complexes.

Acute onset neurological deficits and hypocalcaemia associated with nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism in three juvenile servals (Leptailurus serval)

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism is a metabolic disorder caused by an imbalance in calcium homeostasis and is typically associated with the feeding of a calcium‐deficient diet. Nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism has been reported in domestic species, including cats and dogs, as well as captive carnivores and wildlife including lions ...
