Severe skin and subcutaneous pythiosis in China: Metagenomic identification and characterization of Pythium insidiosum [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Pythium insidiosum is a rare fungus-like pathogen that is known to cause pythiosis in mammals with high morbidity and mortality. Identification of the pathogen is essential for timely treatment and rational use of antibiotics. However, Pythium insidiosum

Genotyping of South American clinical isolates of Pythium insidiosum based on single nucleotide polymorphism-based multiplex PCR [PDF]

Ciência Rural, 2019
: We aimed to genotype the South American clinical isolates of Pythium insidiosum using the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the ribosomal DNA sequences (rDNA). Previously, an SNP-based multiplex-PCR was able to distinguish three different clades

Comparative Genomic Analysis Reveals Gene Content Diversity, Phylogenomic Contour, Putative Virulence Determinants, and Potential Diagnostic Markers within Pythium insidiosum Traits [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Pythium insidiosum has successfully evolved into a human/animal filamentous pathogen, causing pythiosis, a life-threatening disease, worldwide. The specific rDNA-based genotype of P. insidiosum (clade I, II, or III) is associated with the different hosts

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 ...

Cutaneous Pythiosis in 2 Dogs, Italy [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
We report cutaneous pythiosis in 2 dogs in Italy that had recurrent exposure to the same freshwater habitat. Phylogenetic analysis placed the isolates within Pythium insidiosum complex cluster IV, corresponding to P. periculosum.
