Recent admixture between species of the fungal pathogen Histoplasma
Hybridization between species of pathogens has the potential to speed evolution of virulence by providing the raw material for adaptation through introgression or by assembling new combinations of virulence traits.

Fungal DNA‐barcoding on a chip: Magnetoresistive biosensors for yeast infection diagnosis
The development of a fungal pathogen identification chip is herein demonstrated. Hybridization dynamics were tested against 58 species in silico and 4 species on chip. 95% accuracy, 91% sensitivity, 98% specificity and femtomolar limit of detection were achieved. Future perspectives include the integration of sample pre‐treatment modules.

HISTOPLASMIN SURVEY IN HIV-POSITIVE PATIENTS: RESULTS FROM AN ENDEMIC AREA IN NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL
SUMMARY Background. Disseminated histoplasmosis is common in AIDS patients with advanced immunosuppression in Ceará, Northeastern Brazil. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of Histoplasma infection in patients with HIV ...

Dimorphic fungal infection presenting as dysphagia in a dog
Abstract A 3‐year‐old, female, spayed dalmatian was evaluated for a 1‐month history of dysphagia. It exhibited repeated hard swallowing with apparent pain and anxiety after eating, as well as infrequent episodes of regurgitation that were alleviated by adding water to kibble.

Three transporters, including the novel Gai1 permease, drive amino acid uptake in Histoplasma yeasts
The dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum, which almost exclusively resides within host phagocytic cells during infection, must meet its nutritional needs by scavenging molecules from the phagosome environment.

Eng1 and Exg8 Are the Major β-Glucanases Secreted by the Fungal Pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum*
Fungal cell walls contain β-glucan polysaccharides that stimulate immune responses when recognized by host immune cells. The fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum minimizes detection of β-glucan by host cells through at least two mechanisms: concealment

Background The Histoplasma urine antigen (HUAg) is the preferred method to diagnose progressive disseminated histoplasmosis (PDH) in HIV patients. In 2007, IMMY ALPHA Histoplasma EIA was approved for clinical for on-site use, and therefore useful for ...
