C‐type lectin receptors in antifungal immunity: Current knowledge and future developments

Parasite Immunology, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Abstract C‐type lectin receptors (CLRs) constitute a category of innate immune receptors that play an essential role in the antifungal immune response. For over two decades, scientists have uncovered what are the fungal ligands recognized by CLRs and how these receptors initiate the immune response.

Molecular epidemiology and clinical‐laboratory aspects of chromoblastomycosis in Mato Grosso, Brazil

Mycoses, Volume 65, Issue 12, Page 1146-1158, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction Chromoblastomycosis is a disease caused by melanized fungi, primarily belonging to the genera Fonsecaea and Cladophialophora, mainly affecting individuals who are occupationally exposed to soil and plant products. This research aimed to determine the clinical, epidemiological and laboratory characteristics of chromoblastomycosis ...

Assessing global fungal threats to humans

mLife, Volume 1, Issue 3, Page 223-240, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Fungi are an integral part of the earth's biosphere. They are broadly distributed in all continents and ecosystems and play a diversity of roles. Here, I review our current understanding of fungal threats to humans and describe the major factors that contribute to various threats.

A haustorial‐expressed lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase from the cucurbit powdery mildew pathogen Podosphaera xanthii contributes to the suppression of chitin‐triggered immunity

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 22, Issue 5, Page 580-601, May 2021., 2021
PxLPMO1 is a haustorial‐expressed lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase of Podosphaera xanthii that catalyses the transformation of immunogenic chitin fragments into small chitooligosaccharides, suppressing chitin signalling. Abstract Podosphaera xanthii is the main causal agent of cucurbit powdery mildew and a limiting factor of crop productivity.

Reviewing the Etiologic Agents, Microbe‐Host Relationship, Immune Response, Diagnosis, and Treatment in Chromoblastomycosis

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a neglected human disease, caused by different species of pigmented dematiaceous fungi that cause subcutaneous infections. This disease has been considered an occupational disease, occurring among people working in the field of agriculture, particularly in low‐income countries.

Molecular Epidemiology of Fonsecaea Species

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
To assess population diversities among 81 strains of fungi in the genus Fonsecaea that had been identified down to species level, we applied amplified fragment-length polymorphism (AFLP) technology and sequenced the internal transcribed spacer regions ...

A Model for Trans-Kingdom Pathogenicity in Fonsecaea Agents of Human Chromoblastomycosis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The fungal genus Fonsecaea comprises etiological agents of human chromoblastomycosis, a chronic implantation skin disease. The current hypothesis is that patients acquire the infection through an injury from plant material.

Chromoblastomycosis: A rare fungal infection from a nonendemic region—Southern Odisha

Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, 2020
Chromoblastomycosis, a slowly progressing localized fungal infection confined to the skin and subcutaneous tissue, is caused by dematiaceous fungi. Dermal lesions are pleomorphic and can range from small nodules to large papillary like eruptions. Herein,

Isolation and partial characterization of an adhesin fromFonsecaea pedrosoi [PDF]

Medical Mycology, 2001
We showed previously that mannose and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues are involved in the process of adhesion of Fonsecaea pedrosoi, the causative agent of chromoblastomycosis, to epithelial cells. It was then suggested that lectin-like molecules would be involved in the interaction.
