Nucleic Acid-Based Detection of Pythium insidiosum: A Systematic Review. [PDF]
Pythiosis, a life-threatening infectious condition caused by Pythium insidiosum, has been increasingly reported in humans and animals worldwide. Antifungal drugs usually fail to control the pathogen.

Proteome mining and comparative analyses uncovered a large variety of metalloproteases (MPs) in oomycetes. Functional in planta assays pinpointed 12 MPs as potential pathogenicity factors in Phytophthora infestans. Abstract Pathogens deploy a wide range of pathogenicity factors, including a plethora of proteases, to modify host tissue or manipulate ...

Influence of temperature on in vitro zoosporogenesis of Pythium insidiosum [PDF]
This study verified the influence of different temperatures on P. insidiosum in vitro zoosporogenesis. P. insidiosum isolates (n = 26) were submitted to zoosporogenesis and incubated at 5°C, 15°C, 20°C and 37°C (1st stage). Grass fragments were evaluated under optical microscopy at 4, 8, and 24 hours of incubation.

Protein profile of Brazilian Pythium insidiosum isolates [PDF]
Pythium insidiosum is an important aquatic Oomycota that causes pythiosis in mammals, especially horses, dogs, and humans; these inhabit marshy environments in tropical and subtropical areas. The aim of this study was to determine the protein profile, as well as identify likely immunodominant proteins, of Brazilian P.

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

Nested PCR Detection of Pythium sp. from Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Canine Tissue Sections
Pythium insidiosum is an infectious oomycete affecting dogs that develop the cutaneous or gastrointestinal form of pythiosis with a poor prognosis. If left untreated, pythiosis may be fatal.
