The elicitin-like glycoprotein, ELI025, is secreted by the pathogenic oomycete Pythium insidiosum and evades host antibody responses. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Pythium insidiosum is a unique oomycete that can infect humans and animals. Patients with a P. insidiosum infection (pythiosis) have high rates of morbidity and mortality. The pathogen resists conventional antifungal drugs. Information on the biology and

Complex interaction of deferasirox and Pythium insidiosum: iron-dependent attenuation of growth in vitro and immunotherapy-like enhancement of immune responses in vivo. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Pythium insidiosum iron acquisition mechanisms are unknown. We previously showed that the iron chelator deferasirox had weak activity in vitro and in rabbits with experimental pythiosis. Here we show that deferasirox causes damage to P. insidiosum hyphae

Decoding the rare diagnostic enigma of pythium insidiosum keratitis – A narrative review

TNOA Journal of Ophthalmic Science and Research, 2023
Pythium insidiosum, an oomycete, is frequently referred to as a “parafungus” due to its striking similarity to fungal keratitis. Over the past 10 years, there has been a significant rise in Pythium insidiosum keratitis (PIK) cases, notably in Asia and ...

Mastitis by Pythium insidiosum in Mares

Acta Scientiae Veterinariae, 2019
Background: Pythiosis is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by the oomycete Pythium insidiosum. This disease has been reported in several species, but most cases occur in horses. In this species, the cutaneous form is more prevalent, with occasional involvement of adjacent lymph nodes and bone tissue.

Pythium insidiosum: A Rare Necrotizing Orbital and Facial Infection [PDF]

Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society, 2014
Pythium insidiosum, also known as "swamp cancer," has been long known for its destructive effects on plants and animals. Infections with this fungus-like organism typically occur in temperate, tropical, and subtropical regions [ 1]. Human infection with P insidiosum, although exceedingly rare, is characterized by invasion of the cornea, cutaneous ...
