From the CDC link
December 2004, a case of human Cryptococcus gattii infection was reported in Oregon, associated with an outbreak on Vancouver Island and in mainland British Columbia, Canada. A second Oregon-based C. gattii case was reported in 2005, and 12 more in 2006 and 2007. In 2008, CDC, state, and local public health authorities, and the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control formed the Cryptococcus gattii Public Health Working Group. By July 2010, a total of 60 human cases had been reported from four U.S. states: California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.

Now, would it have been that hard to include details?

Wikipedia has a very complete article at http://en.wikiped...s_gattii

I guess CS missed the link?

-Inability to appreciate the value of short articles followed by links for those who want to use them could be a symptom of fungal infection or even substance abuse -?

Of course global warming is blamed as a cause, but no mention of illegal immigrants from tropical climates.

You go up there and make a citizens arrest of those illegal immigrant commie Islamic fungi Marjon. Remind them that they are a terrorist mono-clonal fungal mass of anti-American origins and are members of a conspiracy to shut down God Given US Industry by making it look as if the world is getting warmer.

You show them what Real AmericansTM are made of.

Real AmericansTM is a trademark of the RightWingNut Sarah Palin Party. No commie liberals pinko anti-Americans may use the words Real AmercansTM under penalty of chastisement by Marjon.

Fumigate them! Round them all up and defungalize the lot of them.

Off with their toenails!
