Cryptosporidium
Cryptosporidium, sometimes called crypto, is an apicomplexan genus of alveolates which are parasites that can cause a respiratory and gastrointestinal illness (cryptosporidiosis) that primarily involves watery diarrhea (intestinal cryptosporidiosis), sometimes with a persistent cough (respiratory cryptosporidiosis).

Entomopathogenic fungus
An entomopathogenic fungus is a fungus that can kill or seriously disable insects.

Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus is a genus of more than 700 species of flowering plants in the family Myrtaceae.

Family (biology)
Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.
See Cryptococcus and Family (biology)
Filobasidium
Filobasidium is a genus of fungi in the family Filobasidiaceae. Cryptococcus and Filobasidium are Basidiomycota genera and Tremellomycetes.
See Cryptococcus and Filobasidium
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Glucuronic acid
Glucuronic acid (from Greek γλεῦκος "sweet wine, must" and οὖρον "urine") is a uronic acid that was first isolated from urine (hence the name "uronic acid").
See Cryptococcus and Glucuronic acid
Granulobasidium vellereum
Granulobasidium vellereum is a species of fungus in the family Cyphellaceae.
See Cryptococcus and Granulobasidium vellereum
Haustorium
In botany and mycology, a haustorium (plural haustoria) is a rootlike structure that grows into or around another structure to absorb water or nutrients.
See Cryptococcus and Haustorium
HIV
The human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) are two species of Lentivirus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that infect humans.
HIV/AIDS
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that attacks the immune system.
Homothallism
Homothallic refers to the possession, within a single organism, of the resources to reproduce sexually; i.e., having male and female reproductive structures on the same thallus.
See Cryptococcus and Homothallism
Hypha
A hypha (hyphae) is a long, branching, filamentous structure of a fungus, oomycete, or actinobacterium.
International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants
The International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN or ICNafp) is the set of rules and recommendations dealing with the formal botanical names that are given to plants, fungi and a few other groups of organisms, all those "traditionally treated as algae, fungi, or plants".
See Cryptococcus and International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants
Jean Paul Vuillemin
Jean Paul Vuillemin (13 February 1861 – 25 September 1932 in Malzéville) was a French mycologist born in Docelles.
See Cryptococcus and Jean Paul Vuillemin
Mannose
Mannose is a sugar monomer of the aldohexose series of carbohydrates.
Meningitis
Meningitis is acute or chronic inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, collectively called the meninges.
See Cryptococcus and Meningitis
Meningoencephalitis
Meningoencephalitis (from;; and the medical suffix -itis, "inflammation"), also known as herpes meningoencephalitis, is a medical condition that simultaneously resembles both meningitis, which is an infection or inflammation of the meninges, and encephalitis, which is an infection or inflammation of the brain tissue.
See Cryptococcus and Meningoencephalitis
Molecular phylogenetics
Molecular phylogenetics is the branch of phylogeny that analyzes genetic, hereditary molecular differences, predominantly in DNA sequences, to gain information on an organism's evolutionary relationships.
See Cryptococcus and Molecular phylogenetics
Monosaccharide
Monosaccharides (from Greek monos: single, sacchar: sugar), also called simple sugars, are the simplest forms of sugar and the most basic units (monomers) from which all carbohydrates are built.
See Cryptococcus and Monosaccharide
Nucleic acid sequence
A nucleic acid sequence is a succession of bases within the nucleotides forming alleles within a DNA (using GACT) or RNA (GACU) molecule.
See Cryptococcus and Nucleic acid sequence
Organ transplantation
Organ transplantation is a medical procedure in which an organ is removed from one body and placed in the body of a recipient, to replace a damaged or missing organ.
See Cryptococcus and Organ transplantation
Saccharomyces
Saccharomyces is a genus of fungi that includes many species of yeasts.
See Cryptococcus and Saccharomyces
Sensu
Sensu is a Latin word meaning "in the sense of".
Sexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves a complex life cycle in which a gamete (haploid reproductive cells, such as a sperm or egg cell) with a single set of chromosomes combines with another gamete to produce a zygote that develops into an organism composed of cells with two sets of chromosomes (diploid).
See Cryptococcus and Sexual reproduction
Species
A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.
Teleomorph, anamorph and holomorph
In mycology, the terms teleomorph, anamorph, and holomorph apply to portions of the life cycles of fungi in the phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota.
See Cryptococcus and Teleomorph, anamorph and holomorph
Type species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (species typica) is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen (or specimens).
See Cryptococcus and Type species
Verticillium
Verticillium is a genus of fungi in the division Ascomycota, and are an anamorphic form of the family Plectosphaerellaceae.
See Cryptococcus and Verticillium
