Study of tissue inflammatory response in different mice strains infected by dem...
Ogawa,Marilia Marufuji; Mariano,Mario; Silva,Maria Regina Regis; Enokihara,Milvia Maria Simões e Silva; Michalany,Nilceo Schwery; Nishikaku,Angela SatieAbstract: Background: Diseases caused by melanized fungi include mycetoma, chromoblastomycosis and phaeohyphomycosis. This broad clinical spectrum depends on the dynamic interactions between etiologic agent and host. The immune status of the host influences on the development of the disease, as, an exemple. phaeohyphomicosis is more frequently observed in immunocompromised patients. Objectives: Examine the hist...
Experimental infections with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis obtained from armadi...
Nishikaku,Angela Satie; Peraçoli,Maria Terezinha S.; Bagagli,Eduardo; Sugizaki,Maria Fátima; Sartori,AlexandrinaParacoccidioides brasiliensis causes paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) that is one of the most prevalent systemic human mycoses in Latin America. Armadillos show a high incidence of PCM infection and could, therefore, be a natural reservoir for this fungus. In this study were compared the virulence profiles of isolates obtained from nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) (PbT1 and PbT4) and isolates from PCM ...
