Immunological Cross-Reactivity of Proteins Extracted from the Oomycete Pythium insidiosum and the Fungus Basidiobolus ranarum Compromises the Detection Specificity of Immunodiagnostic Assays for Pythiosis

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Pythiosis, a life-threatening disease caused by Pythium insidiosum, has been increasingly diagnosed worldwide. A recently developed immunochromatographic test (ICT) enables the rapid diagnosis of pythiosis.

Feline subcutaneous pythiosis [PDF]

Ciência Rural, 2019
ABSTRACT: Pythiosis in felines is a rare disease associated with the oomycete Pythium insidiosum. The aim of this report was to describe the macroscopic, histopathological, and molecular characteristics of P. insidiosum infection in a 2-year-old cat, with a localized invasive subcutaneous mass. The feline had an increase of volume near the anal region

Effect of dilution of canine blood samples on the specificity of saline agglutination tests for immune‐mediated hemolysis

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 2374-2383, November/December 2020., 2020
Abstract Background Saline agglutination tests (SATs) are widely recommended for diagnosis of immune‐mediated hemolytic anemia in dogs, but there are frequent false‐positive results. Objectives Specificity of SATs will improve at higher saline‐to‐blood ratios. Animals One hundred fifty dogs treated at a veterinary referral hospital with hematocrits ≤30%

Pythiosis in Africa

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
We report the first case of pythiosis from Africa in an 8-month-old dog with a chronic and ulcerative cutaneous lesion. The etiologic agent belonged to the genus Pythium. Phylogenetic analysis placed the isolate in a sister group to the other P. insidiosum strains. However, the isolate may belong to a new Pythium species.
