This review summarizes knowledge on various aspects of paracoccidioidomycosis. Mycelial
propagules, chlamydospores, and arthroconidia exhibit thermal dimorphism; arthroconidia …

Host-parasite relationship and immunodiagnostic testing in paracoccidioidomycosis have
been extensively investigated in recent years. We review the major advances in the …

The use of molecular taxonomy for identifying recently diverged species has transformed the
study of speciation in fungi. The pathogenic fungus Paracoccidioides spp has been …

The epidemiologic aspects of paracoccidioidomycosis are less understood than those of
other systemic mycoses. There are many missing links in the chain connecting man and …

Adult BALB/c mice of both sexes were infected intranasally with 106 viable P. brasiliensis
conidia. Animals were sacrificed at intervals up to 6 months and studied by histopathology …

Exploring breakthroughs in fungal detection and control, this book covers fungal
nomenclature, population instability, and phylogeny, as well as investigative research on …

The Paracoccidioides genus includes two species of thermally dimorphic fungi that cause
paracoccidioidomycosis, a neglected health-threatening human systemic mycosis endemic …

Using the intraperitoneal route of infection, we demonstrated previously that A/Sn mice are
resistant and B10. A mice are susceptible to Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection. Since …

Paracoccidioides spp. are dimorphic fungal pathogens responsible for one of the most
relevant systemic mycoses in Latin America, paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). Their exact …

Conidia produced by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis are inhibited by mammalian estrogens in
their in vitro conversion into yeast-form cells. This was demonstrated with four different …
