Expressed sequence tag analysis of the human pathogen Paracoccidioides brasiliensis yeast phase: Identification of putative homologues of Candida albicans virulence and pathogenicity genes [PDF]
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, a thermodimorphic fungus, is the causative agent of the prevalent systemic mycosis in Latin America, paracoccidioidomycosis. We present here a survey of expressed genes in the yeast pathogenic phase of P. brasiliensis.

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.

Histoplasma capsulatum in Tissue Culture.
Discussion and ConclusionsA study of chick embryo and horse placental tissue, when cultivated in tissue culture with H. capsulatum by the cover-glass method, has revealed that fibroblasts or fibroblast-like cells of the outgrowth contain yeast cells of this organism in the cytoplasm.

Antimicrobial prescribing guidelines for horses in Australia
The growing problem of antimicrobial resistance also affects equine veterinarians with increasing frequency. Antimicrobial stewardship and responsible prescribing are essential for a future in which effective antimicrobials are available, as it is unlikely that new antimicrobials will become available for use in horses.

Molecular biology of the dimorphic fungi Paracoccidioides SPP [PDF]
Paracoccidioides spp, herein commonly referred as Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, is the etiological agent of racoccidioidomycosis (PCM), the most prevalent systemic mycosis endemic in Latin America. Many aspects of the biology of P. brasiliensis remain

CD8+ T cells against extracellular pathogens: more than just a cytotoxic cell
CD8+ T cells can induce immunopathology or disease tolerance and resistance in infections caused by extracellular pathogens. The secretion of IFNγ by CD8+ T cells can collaborate with IL‐17 for the elimination of extracellular pathogens. In addition, CD8+ T cells can restrict immunopathology through the elimination of APCs.

A survey of 800 bats for isolation of Histoplasma Capsulatum in Iran [PDF]
Clinical cases of Histoplasmosis have been reported from many parts of the world principally from the USA and to a lesser extent from central and South America. Sporadic cases are recorded in medical literature from Europe, Africa and Asia.
