Traditionally, paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is known to be a deep mycosis caused by the thermodymorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. However, there are indications of other species of Paracoccidioides. One such species is P. lutzii, previously named Pb01-like. The other species are P. brasiliensis S1, PS2, PS3 and PS4, recently named P. brasiliensis sensu stricto, P. americana, P…
The fungi Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and Sporothrix schenckii are of a great interest in medical and biological areas. The first is the agent of paracoccidioidomycosis, an endemic disease in many regions of Latin America, mainly in Brazil. The second is the etiological agent of sporotrichosis, subcutaneous mycosis, a re-emergent disease in our environment, and nowadays constitutes a zo…
Fungal infections have been one of the main factors of morbidity and death in patients with various diseases. During the last years great progresses were obtained in the treatment of immunossupressed patients and the proportion of patients with complete cure and survival have been increased. Many oportunistic fungal infections are caused mainly by Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatu…

Sporotrichosis is a neglected and emerging disease among humans and animals. The disease is caused upon traumatic introduction of Sporothrix into the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues of the host, with local lymphatic dissemination. Sporothrix often associated with mammals infection include S. brasiliensis, S. schenckii, S. globosa and S. luriei, which form a monophyletic clade called S.…
The paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic fungal infection with high prevalence in Latin America, especially in Brazil, focusing mainly in adults, males and rural workers. The etiologic agent is a thermodimorphic fungi belonging to the genus Paracoccidioides. Up to date, phylogenetic studies of agents of PCM were able to identify two distinct species: P. brasiliensis (with three cryp…
Traditionally, paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is known as being a deep mycosis caused by the thermo dymorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. However, there are some clues pointing to the existence of other Paracoccidioides species. One of these is the P. lutzii. The others not yet named are the S1, Ps2 and PS3 species. This disease is endemic to countries of Latin America and little…
