The capsule of Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]
The capsule of Cryptococcus neoformans is its dominant virulence factor and plays a key role in the biology of this fungus. In this essay, we focus on the capsule as a cellular structure and note the limitations inherent in the current methodologies ...

Immunomodulatory Role of Capsular Polysaccharides Constituents of Cryptococcus neoformans
Cryptococcosis is a systemic fungal infection caused by Cryptococcus neoformans. In immunocompetent patients, cryptococcal infection is often confined to the lungs. In immunocompromised individuals, C.

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

Ultrastructure of Cryptococcus neoformans
The ultrastructure of C. neoformans was studied in two cases of cutaneous cryptococcosis. Extracellular and intracellular fungi were observed. Their capsules and clear zones were thick and distinct, but their cytoplasmic organelles were not obvious. In macrophages, a few stages of fungal degeneration could be observed.

A Peptide from Budding Yeast GAPDH Serves as a Promising Antifungal against Cryptococcus neoformans
Infection of Cryptococcus neoformans is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, particularly among immunocompromised patients. However, currently available drugs for the treatment of C. neoformans infection are minimal. Here, we report SP1,
