“…Almost all other medically important fungi with an environmental component to their life cycles have been found to have a predominantly recombining population structure (5,7,9,20). The one exception to this has been C. neoformans var.…”

“…However, this finding may largely reflect the host species, as the VNI rural infections all occurred in dogs, which are probably more common than cats in rural areas. Genetic differentiation between VNI and VNII was calculated as of 0.643375 (P Ͻ 0.001), which is similar to the levels of genetic differentiation found among some clades of Coccidioides immitis and Histoplasma capsulatum that are considered to be phylogenetic species (6,12,22,34). I A and T L were calculated for the observed and artificially recombined data sets.…”

“…The approximately equal proportion of the two mating types in nature argues that dimorphic fungi may have a sexual cycle in nature. Studies of population genetics further support that these dimorphic fungi reproduce sexually in nature (21,(37)(38)(39)(40). Strain typing results based on 27 microsatellite markers suggest genetic recombination and sexual reproduction of B. dermatitidis in nature (10).…”

“…A syntenic comparison of the MAT locus and flanking regions among the four B. dermatitidis isolates was performed by using the Artemis and ACT tools (21). Briefly, the MAT locus and flanking regions of the four isolates were compared using local BLASTn and the BLAST results were then entered into the ACT tool to visualize synteny.…”
