Populations and varieties of H. capsulatum showing that the clonal fungus H. capsulatum var. farciminosum emerges from the most diverse and sexually recombining clade, H. capsulatum, Latin America A. The restrictions on recombination borne by H. capsulatum var. farciminosum stem from its dispersal from its population of origin to Eurasia and its transmission to naive hosts from infected hosts rather than being acquired from the environment. Isolates in the Netherlands colonial period clade are likely from Indonesia, not from Europe. Reproduced with permission from ref. 38.
