Current taxonomic status of the cultivable and uncultivable Paracoccidioides species

Paracoccidioides are fungi that cause serious infections in humans and dolphins. Scientists have recently reorganized and renamed these fungi into five different species—three that can be grown in labs and two that cannot. Some previously named species turned out to be invalid due to naming rule violations. This article explains the correct names and classifications that doctors and researchers should use.
