Pythium insidiosum keratitis - A review [PDF]

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2022
Pythium insidiosum is an oomycete and is also called “parafungus” as it closely mimics fungal keratitis. The last decade saw an unprecedented surge in Pythium keratitis cases, especially from Asia and India, probably due to growing research on the ...

Pythium insidiosum-antigen enhances neutrophil-mediated killing of zoospores. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Pythium insidiosum-antigen (PIA) immunotherapy has been used to treat human pythiosis. This study compared PIA-stimulated and unstimulated neutrophils on zoospore viability of P. insidiosum strains. We cultured and collected zoospores of 6 P.
