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.

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 ...

Random sequencing ofParacoccidioides brasiliensisgenes [PDF]
Medical Mycology, 2005 Paracoccidioides brasiliensis genome has been reported as having a size of about 30 Mb. By digestion of genomic DNA from strain IVICPb 73 (ATCC 32071), we have constructed a DNA library with an insert size average of 8 kb in Escherichia coli XL1 Blue.

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.

NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the etiologic agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), the most prevalent systemic mycosis that is geographically confined to Latin America. The pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β that is mainly derived from the activation of the cytoplasmic multiprotein complex inflammasome is an essential host factor against opportunistic ...
