Cryptococcosis. C. neoformans-yeast-like fungus, but is unique in that it produces a capsule (polysaccharide). Mycelial Fungi-opportunistic pathogens that do not convert from a filamentous form to another phase of growth (e.g., yeast phase) when pathogenesis occurs.
The two main languages of Haiti are Haitian Creole and French. All Haitians speak Haitian Creole, while only about 20 percent of the population speaks French. It was only in 1987 that the Constitution granted official status to Haitian Creole.
Haitian Creole is also an essential means of communication at all levels for professionals in the fields of education, health, and social services. The various Haitian Creole courses at FIU explore different aspects of Haitian culture through Haitian movies, music, art, cooking, games, literature, and storytelling.
