PCR Detection of the Cryptococcus Neoformans CAP59 Gene from a Biopsy Specimen from a Case of Feline Cryptococcosis

A polymerase chain reaction assay was developed to detect Cryptococcus neoformans in biopsy samples. The assay detects the CAP59 gene of Cryptococcus neoformans and was used to substantiate cutaneous cryptococcosis in a 5-year-old cat submitted to the Veterinary Medicine Center at the University of...
