Blastomyces (Paracoccidioides) brasiliensis in Africa

Nature, 1964
SINCE the discovery of “South American Blastomycosis” by Adolfo Lutz in 1908, it has been generally accepted that the disease is confined to South America. The few cases reported outside this region are of patients who lived for years in South American countries and probably contracted the “Lutz disease” there1–8.

The fine structure of the microconidium of blastomyces dermatitidis

Mycopathologia et Mycologia Applicata, 1974
Aspects of the fine structure of the microconidium of the mycelial phase of the dimorphic fungal pathogenBlastomyces dermatitidis as seen by techniques of scanning and transmission electron microscopy are described and illustrated by electron micrographs. The conidia ofB.

Antigens and chemical composition of Blastomyces dermatitidis

Mycopathologia, 1982
‘Without these tools (skin-test and complement fixation antigens for epidemiological, diagnostic, and prognostic use) we are at least 50 years behind in our defining of the disease blastomycosis’ (63). This statement by Rippon et al. emphasizes the need for a well defined antigen or group of antigens from Blastomyces dermatitidis, not only for the two ...

Role of the conidium in dimorphism of Blastomyces dermatitidis

Mycopathologia, 1978
Fine details of yeastlike cell development of Blastomyces dermatitidis from its conidium are described and illustrated by electron micrographs. When cultured in an enriched medium at 37C, conidia of two strains of B. dermatitidis readily underwent ultrastructural changes consistent with mycelial to yeast dimorphism.

Cerebral Blastomyces dermatitidis infection in a cat

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2007
Abstract Case Description—An 8-year-old domestic shorthair cat was evaluated because of signs of depression, circling, and visual deficits. Clinical Findings—The cat had no cutaneous lesions, and results of an ophthalmologic examination and thoracic radiography were within reference limits.

Studies on the molecular ecology of Blastomyces dermatitidis

Mycopathologia, 2001
The microecology of Blastomyces dermatitidis, the dimorphic etiologic agent of the potentially fatal systemic fungal infection, blastomycosis, is not well defined. Blastomyces dermatitidis may occur periodically at natural sites, perhaps aided by rotting organic material, animal droppings and physical changes.

Virulence of Blastomyces dermatitidis

1992
Virulence of disease-producing organisms is generally defined as the ability to produce a rapid course of infection or disease. Therefore, virulence of an organism can be considered to be its degree of disease-producing capacity.

The Ecology of Blastomyces dermatitidis

1992
Understanding the epidemiology of blastomycosis depends on comprehension of the ecology of Blastomyces dermatitidis. This interrelationship, without a doubt, is real. There is a paucity of data on both the ecology and the epidemiology of this disease. The present assumptions of these concerns either are based on analogy with other systemic pathogenic ...
