Extracellular Vesicles From Fungal Infection in Humans: A Key Player in Immunological Responses [PDF]

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 4, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Fungal infections cause approximately 1.6 million deaths annually. Diagnosing and treating fungal infections is difficult due to limited access to diagnostic tests and rising antifungal resistance. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) facilitate interactions between fungal cells and hosts, significantly influencing the pathogen‐host relationship ...

Paracoccidioidomycosis: an update [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1993
This review summarizes knowledge on various aspects of paracoccidioidomycosis. Mycelial propagules, chlamydospores, and arthroconidia exhibit thermal dimorphism; arthroconidia are infectious in animals and, by electron microscopy, appear well provided for survival. The mycelial-to-yeast-phase transformation requires a strict control of glucan synthesis
