Sexual Reproduction in Histoplasma Capsulatum [PDF]

Mycologia, 1967
Growth of fungi on plates of soil and hair has been found to stimulate many dermatophytes and related fungi to reproduce sexually (5, 8). In our laboratory such studies have led to the discovery of the ascigerous state of: Microsporum cookei Ajello (1)-Nannizzia cajetani Ajello (2); M. vanbreuseghemii Georg, Ajello, Friedman & Brinkman-N. grubyia Georg,

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e478-e490, August 2026.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Central Nervous System Infections in Pediatric Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Pediatric Transplantation, Volume 30, Issue 8, August 2026.
CNS infections in SOT recipients are rare and presentation can be subtle. Therefore, a low threshold for evaluation is warranted to minimize the associated mortality. ABSTRACT Background Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients face an increased risk of central nervous system (CNS) infections due to immunosuppression.

Morphogenesis and pathogenicity of Histoplasma capsulatum [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1987
The sulfhydryl blocking agent p-chloromercuriphenylsulfonic acid (PCMS) irreversibly inhibited the mycelium-to-yeast transitions of two virulent strains of Histoplasma capsulatum, G184A and G222B, when the temperature of incubation was raised to 37 degrees C, and the block persisted even after the cultures were washed free of PCMS.

Elevated carbon dioxide enhances the growth and reduces the antifungal susceptibility of Histoplasma capsulatum

Microbiology Spectrum
Histoplasma capsulatum is a thermally dimorphic fungal pathogen. It causes approximately 500,000 infections annually in the United States. Histoplasma is present as avirulent mycelia in the soil and transforms into pathogenic yeasts at the human body ...

Revealing pathogenesis-associated metabolites in Histoplasma capsulatum through comprehensive metabolic profiling

mSystems
During infection, Histoplasma capsulatum yeasts interact with a variety of phagocytic cells, where macrophages represent an important niche for long-term intracellular fungal survival and replication.

Interplay Between Infectious Diseases and the Endocrine System: An Overview and Clinical Insights

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
Infectious diseases can disrupt endocrine homeostasis through direct cytopathic injury, autoimmune dysregulation, or pathogen‐derived hormone‐like effects. Viruses and bacteria are the most frequent agents, whereas fungi and parasites contribute less commonly, even remaining clinically relevant, especially in the immunocompromised population.
