Global Molecular Epidemiology of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii: An Atlas of the Molecular Types

Figure 10

Percentage of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii isolates (𝑛=10,548) identified at species complex, species, variety/serotype, or molecular type level (a). Prevalence of the different VN and VG molecular types among the isolates identified at molecular type level (𝑛=2,345) (b). Geographic distribution of the molecular types identified in Central and South America (c). Molecular typing data have been combined from the following references: Guatemala [64], Honduras [11], Cuba [89–91], Puerto Rico [92], Aruba [11, 17], Venezuela [64], Colombia [29, 64, 93–96], Perù [64], Uruguay [11, 17], Brazil [11, 17, 29, 38, 46, 64, 97–118], Argentina [15, 64, 119], and Chile [64].
