Abstract

Cryptococcus gattii VGIIb-like Variant in White-Tailed Deer, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Highlights

  • Because the date of infection of the alpacas and camels in this study is not known, we cannot speculate on the level of susceptibility of alpacas versus dromedaries based on the observed differences in antibody titers, which were lower in alpacas

  • The nasal cavity, lung, tracheobronchial lymph node, and brain lesions were similar, consisting of variably sized, cystic spaces supported by various thicknesses of well-differentiated fibrovascular septa or remaining normal parenchyma

  • Tissue from white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), showing microscopic lesions caused by a unique Cryptococcus gattii VGIIb-like variant strain most similar to that of the VGIIb genotype; etiology was confirmed by molecular sequencing
