Molecular detection of Paracoccidioides in soil from an urban area of southern Brazil

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2020
INTRODUCTION: Previous studies that detected Paracoccidioides spp. DNA in soil taken from rural areas have shown this to be a valuable tool for ecological and epidemiological studies. This study reports the detection of Paracoccidioides spp. DNA in soil

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis GP43-derived peptides are potent modulators of local and systemic inflammatory response [PDF]

, 2012
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic granulomatous disease caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Its major antigen is a 43 kDa glycoprotein whose peptides embody different functions: P10 peptide, a T-cell epitope, :induces ...

Paracoccidioides Species Circulating in the Endemic Area of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: Updates into Their Genetic Diversity

Journal of Fungi
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.

Diversity in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. the PbGP43 gene as a genetic marker [PDF]

, 2008
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a temperature-dependent dimorphic fungus and the agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), which is prevalent in rural workers of Latin American countries. Until a decade ago, most of the studies involving P.

Biomolecular Corona Remodelling of Aspergillus fumigatus Extracellular Vesicles Shapes Immune Recognition and Macrophage Activation Programs

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 5, May 2026.
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 ...

Paracoccidioides spp.: the structural characterization of extracellular matrix, expression of glucan synthesis and associated genes and adhesins during biofilm formation

Frontiers in Microbiology
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

Comparison of clinico-epidemiological and radiological features in paracoccidioidomycosis patients regarding serological classification using antigens from Paracoccidioides brasiliensis complex and Paracoccidioides lutzii.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
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).
