This review is an update on some of the remarkable advances that have led to greater understanding of Pneumocystis, an important group of rodent pathogens. The author outlines the life cycle of these pulmonic fungi, their taxonomic position, and their nomenclature. He discusses how infections begin and spread in laboratory rodent colonies, and how those infections are inadvertently maintained in barriered breeding colonies. He also addresses the diagnosis of Pneumocystis infection and provides suggestions for the establishment of Pneumocystis-free animal colonies.
