本文报道了我国2个品种的世界分布。从628株临床分离株的数据和来自其他实验室的97株其他分离株的数据中提取了新生儿。经鉴定,来自奥地利、比利时、丹麦、法国、德国、荷兰、意大利、瑞士和日本的菌株100%为C.新形变种新人类来自阿根廷、加拿大、英国和美国(除南加州外)的分离株中85%以上为C.新形变种neoformans,其余为C.新形变种加提。有一个异常高的患病率(35-100%)的C。新形变种在澳大利亚、巴西、柬埔寨、夏威夷、南加州[美国]、墨西哥、巴拉圭、泰国、越南、尼泊尔和中非国家都有野生的野生虎。显然,C。新形变种gattii只在热带和亚热带地区流行。在所研究的总分离株中,70%为C的A血清型。新形变种新人类血清型D(占总数的9%)在欧洲很常见,但在其他地区很少发现。在两种血清型中,C.新形变种血清型B是C的4.5倍。收集的大多数(88%)C型分离株来自南加州。
This report of the worldwide distribution of 2 varieties of C. neoformans was drawn from data on 628 clinical isolates and from data on 97 additional isolates from other laboratories. Tests showed that 100% of the cultures from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Switzerland and Japan belonged to C. neoformans var. neoformans. More than 85% of the isolates from Argentina, Canada, the UK and the USA (except southern California) were of C. neoformans var. neoformans, the remainder being of C. neoformans var. gattii. There was an unusually high prevalence (35-100%) of C. neoformans var. gattii in Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Hawaii, southern California [USA], Mexico, Paraguay, Thailand, Vietnam, Nepal and countries in central Africa. Evidently, C. neoformans var. gattii is prevalent only in tropical and subtropical regions. Of the total isolates studied, 70% were of serotype A of C. neoformans var. neoformans. Serotype D (9% of the total) was common in Europe, but was found infrequently in other regions. Among the 2 serotypes of C. neoformans var. gattii, serotype B was 4.5 times more prevalent than serotype C. The majority (88%) of type C isolates in the collection were from southern California.
