Disseminated Emergomycosis in a Person with HIV Infection, Uganda

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
We describe emergomycosis in a patient in Uganda with HIV infection. We tested a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded skin biopsy to identify Emergomyces pasteurianus or a closely related pathogen by sequencing broad-range fungal PCR amplicons.

Phylogeny, ecology and taxonomy of systemic pathogens and their relatives in Ajellomycetaceae (Onygenales): Blastomyces, Emergomyces, Emmonsia, Emmonsiellopsis [PDF]

Fungal Diversity, 2018
The family Ajellomycetaceae (Onygenales) includes mammal-associated pathogens within the genera Blastomyces, Emmonsia, Histoplasma and Paracoccidioides, as well as the recently described genera, Emergomyces that causes disease in immunocompromised hosts, and Emmonsiellopsis, known only from soil.

The Role of the Interleukin-17 Axis and Neutrophils in the Pathogenesis of Endemic and Systemic Mycoses

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
Systemic and endemic mycoses are considered life-threatening respiratory diseases which are caused by a group of dimorphic fungal pathogens belonging to the genera Histoplasma, Coccidioides, Blastomyces, Paracoccidioides, Talaromyces, and the newly ...

Detection of Histoplasma DNA from Tissue Blocks by a Specific and a Broad-Range Real-Time PCR: Tools to Elucidate the Epidemiology of Histoplasmosis

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Lack of sensitive diagnostic tests impairs the understanding of the epidemiology of histoplasmosis, a disease whose burden is estimated to be largely underrated.

Tools for genetic manipulation of the endemic fungal pathogen, Emergomyces africanus, and the application of a fluorescent reporter strain in infection models

Abstract Emergomyces africanus is a thermally dimorphic fungal pathogen endemic to Southern Africa which can cause fatal systemic infections in persons with advanced HIV disease. Its mechanisms of pathogenesis are not well understood.

Emerging Fungal Infections: New Patients, New Patterns, and New Pathogens

Journal of Fungi, 2019
The landscape of clinical mycology is constantly changing. New therapies for malignant and autoimmune diseases have led to new risk factors for unusual mycoses. Invasive candidiasis is increasingly caused by non-albicans Candida spp., including C. auris,

In Vitro Antifungal Susceptibility of Yeast and Mold Phases of Isolates of Dimorphic Fungal Pathogen Emergomycesafricanus (Formerly Emmonsia sp.) from HIV-Infected South African Patients [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2017
ABSTRACT Disseminated emmonsiosis is an important AIDS-related mycosis in South Africa that is caused by Emergomyces africanus , a newly described and renamed dimorphic fungal pathogen. In vitro antifungal susceptibility data can guide management.

Invasive fungal pathogens from the tropical and temperate areas – a challenge in pathology and diagnosis

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries
Fungi play a vital role in ensuring a physiological balance in the surrounding environments, interacting closely with humans, plants, and animals. While most of the time their contribution is beneficial, occasionally, they can become harmful, especially
