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.

Dimorphic expression of cerebrosides in the mycopathogen Sporothrix schenckii
Journal of Lipid Research, 2000 Major neutral glycosphingolipid components were extracted from Sporothrix schenckii, a dimorphic fungus exhibiting a hyphal saprophytic phase and a yeast parasitic phase responsible for chronic mycotic infections in mammalian hosts. These components, one

Journal of Fungi, 2023 Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a fungal infection caused by the thermodimorphic Paracoccidioides sp. PCM mainly affects the lungs, but, if it is not contained by the immune response, the disease can spread systemically.

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2021 Fungal dimorphism is a phenomenon by which a fungus can grow both as a yeast form and a hyphal form. It is frequently related to pathogenicity as different growth forms are more suitable fordifferent functions during a life cycle.

Dimorphism and virulence in fungi [PDF]
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2007 The signature feature of systemic dimorphic fungi - a family of six primary fungal pathogens of humans - is a temperature-induced phase transition. These fungi grow as a mold in soil at ambient temperature and convert to yeast after infectious spores are inhaled into the lungs of a mammalian host.

Photo Quiz: Globose Yeast-Like Forms With Multiple Peripheral Buds in Urine and Cervical Cytology. [PDF]
Diagn CytopatholABSTRACT A 26‐year‐old immunocompetent woman with a history of noninvasive, low‐grade papillary urothelial carcinoma presented with persistent upper abdominal pain. Urine cytology, performed for bladder tumor surveillance, revealed globose, yeast‐like forms (10–30 μm) with thick walls and multiple narrowly attached peripheral buds in a “ship wheel ...

Molecular biology of the dimorphic fungi Paracoccidioides spp [PDF]
Fungal Biology Reviews, 2011 Abstract Paracoccidioides spp, herein commonly referred as Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, is the etiological agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), the most prevalent systemic mycosis endemic in Latin America. Many aspects of the biology of P. brasiliensis remain unknown, in particular its ecology and the apparent lack of a sexual reproduction stage ...

Comparative genomic analysis of human fungal pathogens causing paracoccidioidomycosis. [PDF]
, 2011 Paracoccidioides is a fungal pathogen and the cause of paracoccidioidomycosis, a health-threatening human systemic mycosis endemic to Latin America. Infection by Paracoccidioides, a dimorphic fungus in the order Onygenales, is coupled with a thermally ...
