Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.Abbreviated Summary The role of the major fungal cell wall polymer α‐1,3‐glucan in plant infection is poorly understood. Deletion mutants of the maize anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum graminicola lacking all three α‐1,3‐glucan synthase genes differentiated severely distorted biotrophic hyphae in planta, and virulence was strongly reduced.

Blastomycosis presenting as solitary nodule: A rare presentation
Indian Journal of Dermatology, 2012 Blastomycosis is a chronic granulomatous and suppurative mycosis, caused by Blastomyces dermatitidis, which in the great majority of cases presents as a primary pulmonary disease. Primary cutaneous blastomycosis is very rare.

Protoplasting and Transformation Using CRISPR/Cas9 in Coccidioides
Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Coccidioides posadasii and C. immitis are human fungal pathogens endemic to the American Southwest. C. posadasii and C. immitis are the causative agents of coccidioidomycosis, or Valley fever. They are pathogens of growing concern, as reported cases of coccidioidomycosis have increased 20‐fold in the last two decades.

Blastomycosis: A Review of Mycological and Clinical Aspects
Journal of Fungi, 2023 Blastomycosis is caused by a thermally dimorphic fungus that thrives in moist acidic soil. Blastomyces dermatitidis is the species responsible for most infections in North America and is especially common in areas around the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence

Endobronchial Aspergillosis Presenting as an Isolated Airway Lesion in an Immunocompromised Patient
Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.Endobronchial Aspergillus infection should be considered in immunocompromised patients presenting with airway obstruction, even in the absence of parenchymal lung involvement. This case highlights the potential for rapid clinical deterioration and the diagnostic challenges in distinguishing endobronchial aspergillosis from more aggressive forms of ...

Combination Adjuvants Enhance Recombinant Protein Vaccine Protection against Fungal Infection
mBio, 2021 The development of effective vaccines against fungal infections requires the induction of protective, pathogen-specific cell-mediated immune responses. Here, we asked whether combination adjuvants based on delta inulin (Advax) formulated with Toll-like ...

Interplay Between Infectious Diseases and the Endocrine System: An Overview and Clinical Insights
Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.Infectious diseases can disrupt endocrine homeostasis through direct cytopathic injury, autoimmune dysregulation, or pathogen‐derived hormone‐like effects. Viruses and bacteria are the most frequent agents, whereas fungi and parasites contribute less commonly, even remaining clinically relevant, especially in the immunocompromised population.

Blastomyces dermatitidis : [PDF]
, 1981 A hybridoma cell line was isolated which produced monoclonal antibody to one protein component of a yeast-phase cytoplasmic antigen of B.dermatitidis. The IgM antibody product was characterized by immunodiffusion, autoradiography of polyacrylamide gels ...

Native BAD-1 Binding to Heparin-agarose
Bio-Protocol, 2014 BAD-1 is an adhesin created by the dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis, the causative agent of blastomycosis. We have determined that it has an affinity for heparin, which may explain its impact on virulence and human immune function as a number ...
