THE POWER OF THE SMALL: THE EXAMPLE OF Paracoccidioides brasiliensis CONIDIA [PDF]

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2015
SUMMARYResearch on Paracoccidioides brasiliensis has centered in the yeast cell probably because of the lack of distinctive features in the mycelium. In 1942 and for the first time, lateral conidia were noticed in the fungus' hyphae. Later on, Brazilian, Venezuelan and Argentinean researchers described "aleurias" when the fungus was grown in natural ...

Complexo primário da paracoccidioidomicose e hipereosinofilia Primary complex of paracoccidioidomycosis and hypereosinophilia

Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2009
A infecção primária por Paracoccidioides brasiliensis é observada raramente. Um paciente masculino de 28 anos de idade apresentou febre, sintomas respiratórios e indisposição durante três meses. Exames radiológicos evidenciaram infiltrado pulmonar apical

Molecular Phylogenetic Analysis of Paracoccidioides Species Complex Present in Paracoccidioidomycosis Patient Tissue Samples

Microorganisms, 2023
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:

Importance of xenarthrans in the eco-epidemiology of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, 2009
Several pathogens that cause important zoonotic diseases have been frequently associated with armadillos and other xenarthrans. This mammal group typically has evolved on the South American continent and many of its extant species are seriously threatened with extinction.

Microdilution procedure for antifungal susceptibility testing of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis to amphotericin b and itraconazole

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2009
In vitro tests employing microdilution to evaluate fungal susceptibility to antifungal drugs are already standardized for fermentative yeasts. However, studies on the susceptibility of dimorphic fungi such as Paracoccidioides brasiliensis employing this ...

Characterization of a Paracoccidioides spp. strain from southeastern Brazil genotyped as Paracoccidioides restrepiensis (PS3) and review of this phylogenetic species

Genetics and Molecular Biology
Phylogenetic species of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis complex (S1a and S1b, PS2, PS3, and PS4) and Paracoccidioides lutzii are agents of paracoccidioidomycosis, an endemic fungal disease in Latin America. P. restrepiensis (PS3 genotype) was classified as

Secreted aspartyl proteinase (PbSap) contributes to the virulence of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is the most prevalent deep mycosis in Latin America and is caused by fungi from the Paracoccidioides genus. Virulence factors are important fungal characteristics that support the development of disease.

Overinfection by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis in Gouty Crystal Arthritis

Case Reports in Medicine, 2012
Paracoccidioidomycosis is an endemic South American systemic mycosis caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (P. brasiliensis). The main clinical form of disease is pulmonary, but all organs may be involved.

Phylogenetic Species of Paracoccidioides spp. Isolated from Clinical and Environmental Samples in a Hyperendemic Area of Paracoccidioidomycosis in Southeastern Brazil

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis complex and P. lutzii are the etiological agents of paracoccidioidomycosis. The geographic distribution of these species in South America is still poorly comprehended. Fifty samples of Paracoccidioides spp.
