Melanin as a Virulence Factor in Different Species of Genus Paracoccidioides
Journal of Fungi, 2020 Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a granulomatous systemic mycosis caused by the thermo-dimorphic fungi of the genus Paracoccidioides. Melanin production by fungi can affect their pathogenesis and virulence.

RomA, A Periplasmic Protein Involved in the Synthesis of the Lipopolysaccharide, Tunes Down the Inflammatory Response Triggered by Brucella [PDF]
, 2018 Brucellaceae are stealthy pathogens with the ability to survive and replicate in the host in the context of a strong immune response. This capacity relies on several virulence factors that are able to modulate the immune system and in their structural ...

Virulence factors in endometrial cancer [PDF]
Cancer, 1993 AbstractThe majority of endometrial cancers are relatively benign and curable; there is a subset of virulent tumors that demands recognition. Factors that must be evaluated include: tumor grade, ploidy, steroid receptors, myometrial invasion, lymph node status, extrauterine disease or positive peritoneal fluid, and certain special tumors.

Influence of the Host and Parasite Strain on the Immune Response During Toxoplasma Infection
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Toxoplasma gondii is an exceptionally successful parasite that infects a very broad host range, including humans, across the globe. The outcome of infection differs remarkably between hosts, ranging from acute death to sterile infection.

Virulence factors of Helicobacter pylori
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2001 To date a number of virulence factors have been identified and characterised from the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori. The vacuolating toxin (VacA) is a major determinant of H. pylori-associated gastric disease. In non-polarised cells, VacA alters the endocytic pathway, resulting in the release of acid hydrolases and the reduction of both ...
