Molecular biology of the dimorphic fungi Paracoccidioides SPP [PDF]

, 2011
Paracoccidioides spp, herein commonly referred as Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, is the etiological agent of racoccidioidomycosis (PCM), the most prevalent systemic mycosis endemic in Latin America. Many aspects of the biology of P. brasiliensis remain

IL‐6 Degradation by Secreted Proteases From Paracoccidioides restrepiensis

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a systemic fungal disease caused by Paracoccidioides spp., predominantly affecting populations in Latin America, with Brazil reporting the highest number of cases. The infection is associated with severe pulmonary and systemic manifestations. Previous studies have highlighted the role of fungal proteases in adhesion, invasion,

Exome Sequencing of a Blastomycosis Case–Control Cohort From Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario, Canada

Mycoses, Volume 67, Issue 9, September 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Blastomycosis is a pulmonary disease caused by Blastomyces spp., a group of pathogenic dimorphic fungi endemic to a number of geographic regions, specifically Manitoba and northwestern Ontario, Canada. Immunosuppression is a major risk factor affecting disease susceptibility, yet host immunity is not well understood.

From Mendel to mycoses: Immuno‐genomic warfare at the human–fungus interface

Immunological Reviews, Volume 322, Issue 1, Page 28-52, March 2024.
Summary Fungi are opportunists: They particularly require a defect of immunity to cause severe or disseminated disease. While often secondary to an apparent iatrogenic cause, fungal diseases do occur in the absence of one, albeit infrequently. These rare cases may be due to an underlying genetic immunodeficiency that can present variably in age of ...

Functional neutrophil disorders: Chronic granulomatous disease and beyond

Immunological Reviews, Volume 322, Issue 1, Page 71-80, March 2024.
Summary Since their description by Metchnikoff in 1905, phagocytes have been increasingly recognized to be the entities that traffic to sites of infection and inflammation, engulf and kill infecting organisms, and clear out apoptotic debris all the while making antigens available and accessible to the lymphoid organs for future use.

Profile of total IgG, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 levels in sera of patients with paracoccidioidomycosis: treatment follow-up using Mexo and rPb27 as antigens in an ELISA

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2012
The levels of total of IgG, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 were evaluated in 54 patients with chronic paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) before, during and after treatment using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with Mexo and recombinant Pb27 (rPb27) as the ...
