Cryptococcosis is an important mycosis of humans and animals. It is the most common systemic mycosis of cats, which approximately 10 times more susceptible than dogs. Cryptococcosis is most commonly caused by two encapsulated yeast species that are dimorphic, basidiomycetous fungi of the genus Cryptococcus, Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. C. gattii is considered an emerging pathogen of immunocompetent humans in the north-western United States, in contrast to C. neoformans which is anopportunistic pathogen in humans. Other Cryptococcus species have rarely been associated with disease in dogs and cats including Cryptococcus albidus and Cryptococcus laurentii. Infection is acquired following inhalation from the environment and is nottransmitted between animals. Occasionally, outbreaks of infection in humans and animals occur as a result of exposure to common environmental sources. Growing evidence suggests that the local epidemiology of cryptococcosis in dogs and cats may differ considerably between geographic locations worldwide.

Neoformans相反。其他隐球菌物种很少与狗和猫类的疾病有关，包括Cryptococcus albidus和Cryptococcus laurentii。从环境中吸入后获得感染，并在动物之间进行扫描。偶尔，人类和动物的感染爆发因暴露于普通环境来源而发生。日益增长的证据表明，全世界地理位置之间的狗和猫的阴皮肤病变的当地流行病学可能会很大。
