Although
this study shows that Iranian Eucalyptus trees
can be a source of C. gattii, we cannot isolate
any C. gattii from Eucalyptus trees in the
Southwest of Iran. Direct sunlight sterilizes the
sites contaminated by Cryptococcus, in the
summer months. With expert studies done in this
field, in this research temperature differences in
flowering time can be the reason of the
unsuccessful isolation of this organism in the
environment. In addition, the high temperature in
this area probably inhibits the growing of C.
gattii on trees.
