Functionality of the Paracoccidioides mating α-pheromone-receptor system.
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.

Comparative genomic analysis of human fungal pathogens causing paracoccidioidomycosis.
PLoS Genetics, 2011 Paracoccidioides is a fungal pathogen and the cause of paracoccidioidomycosis, a health-threatening human systemic mycosis endemic to Latin America. Infection by Paracoccidioides, a dimorphic fungus in the order Onygenales, is coupled with a thermally ...

Analysis of the secretomes of Paracoccidioides mycelia and yeast cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Paracoccidioides, a complex of several phylogenetic species, is the causative agent of paracoccidioidomycosis. The ability of pathogenic fungi to develop a multifaceted response to the wide variety of stressors found in the host environment is important ...

Melanin as a Virulence Factor in Different Species of Genus Paracoccidioides
Journal of Fungi, 2020 Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a granulomatous systemic mycosis caused by the thermo-dimorphic fungi of the genus Paracoccidioides. Melanin production by fungi can affect their pathogenesis and virulence.

Epidemiology of paracoccidioidomycosis in Venezuela: a retrospective study from 1954 to 2019
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2021 BACKGROUND Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis endemic to Latin America. Etiological agents are Paracoccidioides species that diverge phylogenetically throughout South America. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to document the epidemiology of
