An Improved Sporulation Method for Producing Asexual Zoospores of Pythium aphanidermatum on Culture Medium [PDF]
MycobiologyAn improved sporulation method for Pythium aphanidermatum on 10% V8-juice agar was developed to generate substantial quantities of zoospores. We conducted experiments using a 4 × 4 factorial design to evaluate the effects of temperature (20, 25, 30, and ...

Glutathione Impacts Both Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Virulence and Amphibian Cellular Defense in a Chytridiomycosis Model [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpenGlutathione 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.

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

Modified preservation and fungalysin description for Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
La Granja: Revista de Ciencias de la Vida, 2022 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
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 ...

Pythium insidiosum keratitis - A review
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 ...
