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 ...

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

Comparative proteomics in the genus Paracoccidioides
Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2013 The genus Paracoccidioides comprises a complex of phylogenetic species of dimorphic pathogenic fungi, the etiologic agents of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a disease confined to Latin America and of marked relevance in its endemic areas due to its high frequency and severity.

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.

Fatal Fungemia due to Paracoccidioides lutzii [PDF]
The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2014 We report the first case of fungemia caused by Paracoccidioides lutzii in a 51-year-old male farm worker from the central-west region of Brazil. The fungus was isolated from blood cultures and the species was confirmed by phylogenetic identification. Despite specific treatment and intensive care, the patient died 39 days after admission.

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To analyse mortality, hospitalisations and in‐hospital mortality related to paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) in Brazil, 2000–2024, from a spatio‐temporal and social inequalities perspective. Methods We conducted a mixed ecological study using death certificates from the Mortality Information System and hospital admissions from the ...

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key mediators of intercellular communication, enabling trans‐kingdom exchange of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and metabolites. In Giardia duodenalis, EVs contribute to parasite survival, host–pathogen interactions, and immune modulation.
