Molecular detection of Paracoccidioides in soil from an urban area of southern Brazil
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2020 INTRODUCTION: Previous studies that detected Paracoccidioides spp. DNA in soil taken from rural areas have shown this to be a valuable tool for ecological and epidemiological studies. This study reports the detection of Paracoccidioides spp. DNA in soil
