Environmental isolation of Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii from Eucalyptus tereticornis

As an extension of the previously established association between Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii and Eucalyptus camaldulensis (River red gum) we have now found a similar relationship between C. neoformans var. gattii and the closely related Eucalyptus tereticornis (Forest red gum). The global distribution of E. tereticornis is similar to that of E. camaldulensis.
