Biological Roles Played by Sphingolipids in Dimorphic and Filamentous Fungi [PDF]
MBio, 2018 Filamentous and dimorphic fungi cause invasive mycoses associated with high mortality rates. Among the fungal determinants involved in the establishment of infection, glycosphingolipids (GSLs) have gained increased interest in the last few decades.

Genome update of the dimorphic human pathogenic fungi causing paracoccidioidomycosis. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 Paracoccidiodomycosis (PCM) is a clinically important fungal disease that can acquire serious systemic forms and is caused by the thermodimorphic fungal Paracoccidioides spp.

Isolation of fungi from nature in the region of Botucatu, state of São Paulo, Brazil, an endemic area of paracoccidioidomycosis [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1996 In an attempt to isolate Paracoccidioides brasiliensis from nature 887 samples of soil from Botucatu, SP, Brazil, were collected cultured in brain heart infusion agar supplemented with dextrose, in potato dextrose agar and in yeast extract starch ...

Quorum Sensing in Dimorphic Fungi: Farnesol and Beyond [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2006 Production of farnesol by Candida albicans is the first quorum-sensing system discovered in a eukaryote ([29][1]). In C. albicans , accumulated farnesol affects both dimorphism ([29][1], [50][2]) and biofilm formation ([62][3]).

Applications of Invertebrate Animal Models to Dimorphic Fungal Infections
Journal of Fungi, 2018 Dimorphic fungi can be found in the yeast form during infection and as hyphae in the environment and are responsible for a large number of infections worldwide.

Macrophage Infection by Dimorphic Fungi [PDF]
Bio-Protocol, 2012 Mammalian infection by dimorphic fungi occurs through the inhalation of asexual spores (conidia), which are phagocytosed by host pulmonary alveolar macrophages of the innate immune system.

Co-infection by dimorphic fungi in tuberculosis patients in Kenya
International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2020 Background: Dimorphic fungi may cause infections and symptoms similar to tuberculosis (TB), in humans and animals. Such infections, individually or concurrently with TB, have been identified in cattle in Kenya, raising the possibility of infections in ...

Identification of microRNA-like RNAs in mycelial and yeast phases of the thermal dimorphic fungus Penicillium marneffei. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 BACKGROUND: Penicillium marneffei is the most important thermal dimorphic fungus causing systemic mycosis in China and Southeast Asia. While miRNAs are increasingly recognized for their roles in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in ...
