Abstract: Background Cryptococcus gattii-induced cryptococcosis is an emerging infectious disease of humans and animals with worldwide distribution and public health importance due to its significant morbidity and mortality rate. The present study aimed to report a case of pulmonary infection by C. gattii molecular type VGII in State of São Paulo, Brazil.Case presentationA 5-year-old goat showing intermittent dry cough, ruminal tympany, anorexia, fever, tachycardia and tachypnea was presented for necropsy at the Veterin… Show more

“…It has been estimated that each year human cryptococcosis affects nearly 220,000 individuals, of which 181,100 cases result in death ( Rajasingham et al, 2017 ). Although members of the C. neoformans complex are the major agents of the cryptococcosis cases worldwide, C. gattii species complex isolates have emerged as primary pathogens due to their increasing geographical expansion and the high lethality rate of their infections ( Chen et al, 2014 ; Espinel-Ingroff and Kidd, 2015 ; Amburgy et al, 2016 ; Farrer et al, 2016 ; Lockhart et al, 2016 ; Souto et al, 2016 ; Acheson et al, 2017 ; da Silva et al, 2017 ; Noguera et al, 2017 ; Velez and Escandon, 2017 ).…”

“…To date, 106 publications have reported the major molecular type of 5686 isolates of C. neoformans and C. gattii from Latin America, identified mostly by RFLP (57.14%). From those, 65 publications were retrieved from the revision on cryptococcosis in Latin America and 41 were found afterwards [ 15 , 17 , 18 , 20 , 32 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , …”

“…From the less frequently recovered veterinary isolates, reported in two articles and eight case reports from Brazil, Cuba, and Chile, the molecular type VGII was predominant (73.68%), followed by VNI (15.79%), VGIII (5.26%), and VGI (5.26%) ( Table 1 ). When stated, veterinary cases were from seven cats, five dogs, two goats, a guinea pig, and a cheetah held in a zoo [ 55 , 62 , 70 , 71 , 76 , 81 , 123 , 133 ].…”
