Potentially deadly fungus spreading in US, Canada; Fungus is unique genetic strain
#5
Cryptococcus gattii, formerly known as Cryptococcus neoformans var gattii, has been studied extensively in the context of AIDS and immuno-suppression.

The link below is to the CDC and a paper with over 100 clinical journal references, nearly all from the early 1990s onwards.

Like Ed, I always experience a little involuntary shiver when I hear the phrase "unique genetic strain" used alongside an apparently high lethality/fatality rate.
