Abstract

The taxonomy of the Cryptococcus gattii species complex continues to evolve, and has been divided into five pathogenic species. The objective of this systematic review was to summarise the geographical distribution of the C gattii species complex and the species within the C gattii species complex. We searched PubMed for articles related to human, animal, ecological, or laboratory-based studies of C gattii species complex isolates with traceable geographical origin published from January, 1970, until September, 2021. Having extracted their geographical origin, we used ArcMap to construct maps according to the highest degree of resolution allowed by their reported taxonomy, to reflect the most likely area of transmission on the basis of published reports of human isolates. 604 such articles were included in the study. This review indicated that although C gattii species complex isolates have been reported globally, understanding their heterogeneous geographical distribution by species can have implications for researchers and clinicians in formulating research questions and considering diagnostic quandaries.

加特隐球菌复合菌种的地理分布：系统综述。

加特隐球菌复合菌种的分类法在不断演变，目前已分为五个致病菌种。本系统综述的目的是总结加特隐球菌复合菌种和加特隐球菌复合菌种中各菌种的地理分布情况。我们在 PubMed 上检索了 1970 年 1 月至 2021 年 9 月期间发表的与人类、动物、生态或实验室研究有关的文章，这些文章涉及可追溯地理来源的 C gattii 菌种复合体分离物。在提取了它们的地理来源后，我们使用 ArcMap 按照其报告的分类法所允许的最高分辨率绘制了地图，以根据已发表的人类分离物报告反映最有可能的传播区域。研究共纳入了 604 篇此类文章。该综述表明，虽然全球都有 C gattii 复合菌种分离物的报道，但了解其不同菌种的地理分布情况对研究人员和临床医生提出研究问题和考虑诊断难题具有重要意义。
