HISTOPLASMOSE CUTÂNEA EXTENSA ASSOCIADA À PÊNFIGO VULGAR EM PACIENTE IMUNOCOMPETENTE

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
A histoplasmose, causada pelo fungo Histoplasma capsulatum, é uma micose endêmica que eventualmente pode resultar em doença grave. A maioria dos pacientes que desenvolve histoplasmose severa é imunodeprimida ou está em extremos de idade.

Detection of Metalloproteases and Cysteine Proteases RNA Transcripts of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum in Ear Edge Skin of Naturally Infected Dogs

BioMed Research International, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Leishmania spp. proteases have been proposed as virulence factors contributing to adaptive success these parasites to the mammalian hosts. Since these enzymes are poorly studied in naturally infected dogs, this work aims to show the differences in metalloprotease and cysteine proteases gene expression in ear edge skin of dogs naturally infected by ...

Reactivity of sera from dogs living in a leishmaniasis-endemic area to the COOH-terminal region of cysteine proteinase B

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2020
Cysteine proteinases are well-known virulence factors of Leishmania spp. with demonstrated actions in both experimental mouse infection and human infection. However, studies on these enzymes in canine leishmaniasis are scarce.

Overview of the organization of protease genes in the genome of Leishmania spp

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background The genus Leishmania includes protozoan parasites that are able to infect an array of phlebotomine and vertebrate species. Proteases are related to the capacity of these parasites to infect and survive in their hosts and are therefore ...
