Fungi are adept at changing their cell shape and developmental program in response to
signals in their surroundings. Here we focus on a group of evolutionarily related fungal …

The fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum causes respiratory and disseminated
disease, even in immunocompetent hosts. In contrast to opportunistic pathogens, which are …

Paracoccidioides is a fungal pathogen and the cause of paracoccidioidomycosis, a health-
threatening human systemic mycosis endemic to Latin America. Infection by …

Sulphur is an essential element that all pathogens have to absorb from their surroundings in
order to grow inside their infected host. Despite its importance, the relevance of sulphur …

Coccidioides immitis and posadasii are closely related fungal species that cause
coccidioidomycosis. These dimorphic organisms cause disease in immunocompetent as …

Background Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a human pathogen with a broad distribution in
Latin America. The fungus is thermally dimorphic with two distinct forms corresponding to …

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermodimorphic human pathogenic fungus that causes
