Characteristics of Environmental Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Isolates
Mycopathologia, 2009The ecological niche or exact habitat of the fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is not known, and few isolates have been obtained from the environment. In this study, ten isolates were analyzed with respect to antigenic composition, serology, pathogenicity, and molecular aspects.

MiRNAs regulate iron homeostasis in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
Microbes and Infection, 2021During pathogen interaction with the host, several mechanisms are used to favor or inhibit the infectious process; one is called nutritional immunity, characterized by restriction of micronutrients to pathogens. Several studies on fungi of the Paracoccidioides complex, have demonstrated that these pathogens remodel their metabolic pathways to overcome ...

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is found only in Latin America. It is endemic in Mexico, Central America, and South America. Most cases (80%) have been reported from Brazil, followed by Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Argentina. Most cases occur in tropical and subtropical forests, where temperatures are mild and humidity is high ...

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis – the man-hater
Mycologist, 2002Some fungi are found only in specific geographical regions. The human pathogen Paracoccidioides brasiliensis has only rarely been isolated in nature and incidences of infections are restricted to Central and Southern America. Most commonly infected individuals are not urban dwellers, but rather farmers and people living in mountainous areas.

Morphogenesis in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
2011Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a deep systemic mycosis originally described in 1908 caused by the ascomycete Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, a thermodimorphic fungal pathogen. The disease is autochthonous to Latin America and areas of higher incidence occur in countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Venezuela.

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Ultrastructural Findings
2018This chapter attempts to summarize ultrastructural findings on the agent of paracoccidioidomycosis. The fungi are not easily amenable to ultrastructure cytological examination due to the chitinous nature of their cell walls. The basic techniques for the preparation of P. brasiliensis intended for electron microscopy are very similar to those applied to

Digestion of killed Paracoccidioides brasiliensis by neutrophils
Mycopathologia, 1989We previously described an in vitro assay showing that neutrophils (PMNs) from patients with paracoccidioidomycosis (PARA) have a specific digestive deficiency against suspensions of live Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. We now report that this defect is equally detectable against autoclaved, but not Amphotericin B-killed P. brasiliensis.

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis Infection in Small Wild Mammals
Mycopathologia, 2015Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis prevalent in Brazil and other Latin American countries. The etiological agents of PCM are the thermo-dimorphic fungi Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and P. lutzii. Taking into account that the natural habitat of Paracoccidioides spp.

Ecology of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
2018The relationship between Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and its environment is still a matter of debate as the fungus microniche is yet to be discovered. P. brasiliensis has deceived many of the researchers interested in finding its permanent residency. Many skin-testing surveys have been conducted with the aim of delimiting the areas of endemicity and ...
