Paracoccidioides brasiliensis: phylogenetic and ecological aspects [PDF]
Mycopathologia, 2008 The knowledge on the biological aspects of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis has evolved greatly since the first description of the disease in 1908. From the pioneers, who were able to clearly demonstrate the fungal nature of the agent, to the recent genomic era, important advances have been achieved. P.

Gene knockdown in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis using antisense RNA [PDF]
, 2012 Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermal dimorphic fungus which at host environment exhibits a multinucleated and multibudding yeast form. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these phenotypes remain to be clarified, mostly due to the ...

Global Challenges, Volume 9, Issue 12, December 2025.This study integrates computational and experimental approaches to explore how short dipeptides modulate the activity of chorismate synthase. Unexpectedly, the GluAsp dipeptide enhanced enzyme activity by promoting a transient surface channel near the active site, possibly revealing a new structural feature relevant for microbial metabolism and ...

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.

Fungal DNA‐barcoding on a chip: Magnetoresistive biosensors for yeast infection diagnosis
VIEW, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.The development of a fungal pathogen identification chip is herein demonstrated. Hybridization dynamics were tested against 58 species in silico and 4 species on chip. 95% accuracy, 91% sensitivity, 98% specificity and femtomolar limit of detection were achieved. Future perspectives include the integration of sample pre‐treatment modules.

Evaluation of Caenorhabditis elegans as a host model for Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii [PDF]
Pathogens and Disease, 2018 Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic fungal infection affecting mainly Latin American countries that is caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Paracoccidioides lutzii. During the study of fungal pathogenesis, in vivo studies are crucial to understand the overall mechanisms involving the infection as well as to search for new therapeutic treatments
