Dimorphic and thermo-dependent fungi of the genus Paracoccidioides spp. are causative agents of Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a systemic mycosis endemic in Latin America. PCM has a high prevalence in Brazil, affecting mainly rural workers. In the soil (22-25°C), these fungi grow as septate hyphae. When inhaled into the warm lungs of a mammalian host (37°C), these infectious propagules con…
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the causative agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a systemic mycosis endemic in Latin America. This fungus is considered a facultative intracellular pathogen, able to survive and replicate inside macrophages. The survival of P. brasiliensis in the host depends on the fungus adaptation in several conditions, such as oxidative and nitrosative stress produ…
Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermodimorphic fungus and the etiological agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). The fungus infection is by inhalation of conidia present in the environment. For the development of the disease is essential that the conidia lodged in the pulmonary alveoli pass for the yeast phase, and this event was dependent on the temperature increase. The development …

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a granulomatous mycosis caused by fungi of the genus Paracoccidioides, belonging to the Ajellomycetaceae family. These fungi are thermodimorphic, meaning they undergo a transition from mycelium to yeast within the host. During infection, the fungus is exposed to various stress conditions, including drastic pH changes in the phagolysosome and hypoxic environ…
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a fungal disease caused by organisms of the genus Paracoccidioides spp. PCM is a systemic, granulomatous mycosis that is endemic in Latin America, with Brazil having the highest number of cases. Infection occurs by inhaling conidia or fragments of hyphae present in the soil. These fungi present a process of dimorphism, in which they adapt to the tissues of …
Thermal dimorphic fungi from genera Paracoccidioides are causers of Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a disease that affect mainly workers from rural area. Recent reports has shed light into the virulence factors from the fungus by using antisense RNA technology. Although important, the silencing of a gene does not ensure the causal role from that gene through the observed phenotype. To estab…
