Glutathione Impacts Both Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Virulence and Amphibian Cellular Defense in a Chytridiomycosis Model [PDF]
Glutathione has important roles in diverse infections, yet its involvement in the interaction between the deadly fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and its amphibian hosts is still unclear.

Modified preservation and fungalysin description for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a pathogenic fungus causing chytridiomycosis, a cutaneous affection resulting in reduction on Anura populations around the world, because of fungalysins, the most important virulence factor. The B.

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