More than a billion people worldwide are estimated to suffer from some fungal disease and 1.5 to 2 million people die each year from a fungal infection, surpassing deaths from malaria or tuberculosis. Among these are those caused by Cryptococcus sp., Paracoccidioides sp. and Histoplasma capsulatum that are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Treatment of these mycoses i…
The search for new therapies and new biomarkers are needed in fungal diseases such as paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). The PCM is a systemic mycosis caused by fungi of the genus Paracoccidioides and appears endemic in Central and South America. Despite the good efficacy of antifungal agents against P. brasiliensis and P. lutzii, some of them such as amphotericin B can be toxic to the host ce…
Cryptococcus spp. cause invasive fungal infections, which are responsible for high rates of morbidity and mortality. The fungus can transfer among macrophages by both lytic and non-lytic methods, facilitating dissemination within the host organism. Previous studies have identified a key role for cryptococcal extracellular vesicles (EVs) in regulating the proliferation of this fungus withi…
