Paracoccidiodomycosis (PCM) is the most important systemic mycosis in Brazil, and is usually associated with rural work. PCM is caused by inhalation of infective propagules of thermodimorphic fungi from the genus Paracoccidioides.

Foi realizado um inquérito epidemiológico sobre paracoccidioidomicose com gp43, em 118 operários no Noroeste do Paraná. A positividade foi de 43%, o que aliado às condições ambientais favoráveis ao desenvolvimento do fungo reforçam que essa região seja ...

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.

NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis
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 ...

Primers for Clinical Detection of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis [PDF]
ABSTRACT From a 0.72-kb fragment universally generated in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis strains, primers were designed and tested on genomic DNA of this and other pathogenic fungi. They were specific and highly sensitive for P. brasiliensis DNA.

The genus Paracoccidioides includes Paracoccidioides lutzii and the Paracoccidioides brasiliensis complex, which comprises four phylogenetic species. A key feature distinguishing planktonic growth from biofilm is the presence of a 3D extracellular matrix

Genotyping of the genus Paracoccidioides showed its diversity and geographical distribution. Four species constituting the Paracoccidioides brasiliensis complex and Paracoccidioides lutzii are etiological agents of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM).

ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by Aspergillus fumigatus play key roles in fungal–host communication. Similar to synthetic nanoparticles, fungal EVs acquire a biomolecular corona composed of a tightly bound “hard” corona layer of fungal proteins and a dynamic “soft” layer of host‐derived molecules adsorbed upon contact with biological ...

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is the main and most prevalent systemic mycosis in Latin America, that until recently, it was believed to be caused only by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (P. brasiliensis). In 2006, researchers described three cryptic species:
