| Disease Introduction Mechanism | Cryptococcosis is an infectious disease caused by the fungal species Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. Both are globally distributed, although C. gattii is generally seen as a tropical or subtropical ¬ fungus. Cryptococcosis affects mostly \ immunocompromised individuals causing severe lung disease and meningoen- cephalitis, with C. gattii being able to infect immunocompetent ¬ hosts. |
