Computed Tomographic Scan Evaluation of Pulmonary Blastomycosis

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2009
BACKGROUND: Blastomycosis is an uncommon granulomatous pulmonary and extrapulmonary infectious disease caused by the thermally dimorphic fungus Blastomyces dermatitidis. Diagnosis may be delayed or difficult because of varied presentation.

Blastomycosis: A Review of Mycological and Clinical Aspects

open access: yesJournal 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

Combination Adjuvants Enhance Recombinant Protein Vaccine Protection against Fungal Infection

open access: yesmBio, 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 ...

The Schizosaccharomyces pombe Map4 adhesin is a glycoprotein that can be extracted from the cell wall with alkali but not with β-glucanases and requires the C-terminal DIPSY domain for function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
El pdf del artículo es la versión pre-print.In fungi, cell adhesion is required for flocculation, mating and virulence, and it is mediated by covalently bound cell wall proteins termed adhesins. Map4, an adhesin required for mating in Schizosaccharomyces

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Native BAD-1 Binding to Heparin-agarose

open access: yesBio-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 ...

Experimental infections with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis obtained from armadillos: comparison to clinical isolates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis causes paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) that is one of the most prevalent systemic human mycoses in Latin America. Armadillos show a high incidence of PCM infection and could, therefore, be a natural reservoir for this fungus ...
