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

Identification of human plasma proteins associated with the cell wall of the pathogenic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis [PDF]

, 2013
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii are thermodimorphic species that cause paracoccidioidomycosis. the cell wall is the outermost fungal organelle to form an interface with the host.

pancreatic destruction in experimentally infected [PDF]

, 2009
Background The wild rodent Calomys callosus is notably resistant to Trypanosoma cruzi infection. In order to better characterize this animal model for experimental infections, we inoculated C. callosus intraperitoneally with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis,

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.

Characterization of the Paracoccidioides Hypoxia Response Reveals New Insights into Pathogenesis Mechanisms of This Important Human Pathogenic Fungus.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
BackgroundHypoxic microenvironments are generated during fungal infection. It has been described that to survive in the human host, fungi must also tolerate and overcome in vivo microenvironmental stress conditions including low oxygen tension; however ...

The Hemoprotein Hhy1 Promotes Heme‐Dependent Catalase Activity of Ctt1

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
A Schizosaccharomyces pombe strain deficient in heme (hem1Δ) and siderophore (Fc) biosynthesis, as well as high‐affinity iron (Fe) uptake (blue), was used to uncover the hemoprotein Hhy1 that promotes the heme‐dependent activity of the catalase Ctt1. In contrast, hhy1Δ cells exhibit reduced Ctt1 activity and increased sensitivity to oxidative stress ...

Expressed sequence tag analysis of the human pathogen Paracoccidioides brasiliensis yeast phase: Identification of putative homologues of Candida albicans virulence and pathogenicity genes [PDF]

, 2003
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, a thermodimorphic fungus, is the causative agent of the prevalent systemic mycosis in Latin America, paracoccidioidomycosis. We present here a survey of expressed genes in the yeast pathogenic phase of P. brasiliensis.

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Serology of paracoccidioidomycosis [PDF]

, 2008
This review provides the background for understanding the role of a battery of diagnostic methods in paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). This systemic mycosis is a disease endemic in many regions of Latin America, with sporadic cases also occurring throughout ...

Melatonin Is Bound to a Glycolytic Protein Complex via Tdh2p During Fermentation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Journal of Pineal Research, Volume 78, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Melatonin (MEL) is a multifunctional bioactive compound known for its antioxidant properties and regulatory roles in both animal and microbial systems. Although MEL has been shown to interact with glycolytic enzymes in yeast, the molecular basis and physiological relevance of these interactions remain unclear.
