Abstract

While the opportunistic human pathogens Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are often isolated from plants and plant-related material, evidence suggests that these Cryptococcus species do not directly infect plants. Studies find that plants are important for Cryptococcus mating and dispersal. However, these studies have not provided enough detail about how plants and these fungi interact, especially in ways that could show the fungi are capable of causing disease. This review synthesizes recent findings from studies utilizing different plant models associated with the ecology of C. neoformans and C. gattii. Unanswered questions about their environmental role are highlighted. Overall, current research indicates that Cryptococcus utilizes plants as a substrate rather than harming them, arguing against Cryptococcus as a genuine plant pathogen. We hypothesize that plants represent reservoirs that aid dispersal, not hosts vulnerable to infection.

新生隐球菌:植物与微生物的相互作用和生态学。
虽然机会性人类病原体新隐球菌和加特隐球菌经常从植物和植物相关材料中分离出来,但有证据表明,这些隐球菌并不直接感染植物。研究发现,植物对于隐球菌的交配和传播非常重要。然而,这些研究并没有提供植物与这些真菌如何相互作用的足够细节,尤其是在表明真菌能够致病的方面。本综述综合了利用与新变形真菌和加特纳真菌生态学相关的不同植物模型进行研究的最新发现。重点讨论了有关它们的环境作用的未决问题。总体而言,目前的研究表明,隐球菌利用植物作为基质,而不是伤害植物,这就证明隐球菌不是真正的植物病原体。我们假设植物是帮助传播的贮藏库,而不是易受感染的宿主。
