Organism Overview
Pneumocystis carinii is the causal agent of a severe pneumonitis in rats, resulting from the proliferation of this fungus in the lungs of infected animals. The epidemiology of the
Pneumocystis carinii infection is poorly understood and its life cycle remains to be elucidated, since in vitro culture techniques are yet to be defined. The
More...large-scale sequencing of the Pneumocystis carinii genome will help elucidate the biology of this important pathogen, the molecular basis of its pathogenicity, and the development of drug and vaccine targets.The Pneumocystis carinii haploid genome is approximately 8.4 Mb, organized in 17 chromosomes.
