“…Cryptococcosis is a life-threatening fungal disease, most commonly caused by 2 encapsulated yeast species, C. neoformans or C. gatti , inhabiting different ecological niches [ 3 , 9 ]. Infections caused by C. neoformans and C. gattii have a predilection for establishing clinical disease in the lungs and central nervous system (CNS) [ 9 ]. Cryptococcosis has been reported in a wide range of animal species, primarily humans and domestic animals [ 1 , 6 , 7 , 11 , 12 , 15 , 18 , 19 ].…”

Cryptococcosis, a globally distributed mycotic disease caused by Cryptococcus neoformans or C. gattii, has been extensively studied in various domestic animals and humans. However, nondomestic species have often been overlooked in the literature, with limited attention given to their susceptibility and contribution to the epidemiology of the disease. In this study, a captive two-year-old Cape hyrax in a Japanese zoo exhibited neurological symptoms and torticollis, ultimately succumbing to the infection. Necropsy and pathological analyses, including histopathological techniques and PCR, revealed the presence of C. neoformans in the lungs, cerebrum, and internal auditory canal. While cryptococcosis has been reported in various wild animals globally, this case represents the first documented cryptococcosis in Cape hyrax.
