Hemoglobin Uptake by Paracoccidioides spp. Is Receptor-Mediated [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 Iron is essential for the proliferation of fungal pathogens during infection. The availability of iron is limited due to its association with host proteins.

Functionality of the Paracoccidioides mating α-pheromone-receptor system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Recent evidence suggests that Paracoccidioides species have the potential to undergo sexual reproduction, although no sexual cycle has been identified either in nature or under laboratory conditions.

Genus Paracoccidioides: Species Recognition and Biogeographic Aspects [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic mycosis caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (species S1, PS2, PS3), and Paracoccidioides lutzii. This work aimed to differentiate species within the genus Paracoccidioides, without applying multilocus ...

Hydroxamate production as a high affinity iron acquisition mechanism in Paracoccidioides spp. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Iron is a micronutrient required by almost all living organisms, including fungi. Although this metal is abundant, its bioavailability is low either in aerobic environments or within mammalian hosts.

Paracoccidioides Species Complex: Ecology, Phylogeny, Sexual Reproduction, and Virulence [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a deep systemic mycosis caused by human fungal pathogens of the Paracoccidioides genus. The disease is geographically restricted to subtropical areas of Latin America (from south of Mexico to north of Argentina) with a ...

Importance of adhesins in virulence of Paracoccidioides spp.
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Members of the Paracoccidioides genus are dimorphic fungi that are the etiologic agents of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). This genus is composed of two species: Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii.

Transcriptional and Proteomic Responses to Carbon Starvation in Paracoccidioides [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 BACKGROUND: The genus Paracoccidioides comprises human thermal dimorphic fungi, which cause paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), an important mycosis in Latin America. Adaptation to environmental conditions is key to fungal survival during human host infection.

Evaluation of commercial immunodiffusion reagents for detecting serum anti-Paracoccidioides antibodies [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina TropicalBackground: Accurate diagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Paracoccidioides antibody detection by double immunodiffusion (DID) is a convenient diagnostic tool, but testing performance can vary based on certain ...
