Cryptococcal meningitis, caused by Cryptococcus, results in approximately half a million deaths per year globally. We compare clinical Cryptococcus samples from Cameroon and Malawi to explore the genetic diversity of these isolates. We find instances of mixed-strain infections and identify genetic variants arising in Cryptococcus over disease.
