Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection in dogs from Western Brazilian Amazon

Serological evidence of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection in chickens fro...

Detection of antibodies to Paracoccidioides brasiliensis in horses from norther...

Paracoccidioidomycosis, caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, is the most prevalent human systemic mycosis in Latin America. Paracoccidioidomycosis affects mainly male rural workers, causing granulomatous lesions in organs such as lungs, liver and spleen. The participation of other animal species in the fungus eco-epidemiology in not well understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate...

Evaluation of carbon and nitrogen sources on fumonisin B1 production by Fusariu...

Fusarium verticillioides Sacc. Niremberg (= F. moniliforme Sheldon) is a primary corn pathogen and the main fumonisin producer. Considering that the nutrient quality and its concentration in the culture medium have an important role in fumonisin production, the aim of this study was to evaluate fumonisin B1 (FB1 ) production by F. verticillioides in a liquid culture medium with different carbon and nitrogen sou...

Production and characterization of Fusarium verticillioides exoantigens

Fusarium verticillioides Sacc. Niremberg (=F. moniliforme Sheldon) is a primary corn pathogen and the main fumonisin producer. This fungus can cause significant economical losses for the farmers, grain processors, animal producers and risk for human and animal health. Several methods for mould detection have been used, however most of these are time-consuming and require trained staff. Otherwise, immunoassays (...

Paracoccidioidomycosis in wild and domestic animals

Paracoccidiodomycosis is the most prevalent systemic mycosis in Latin América, mainly in Brazil. Although many studies have been done about the pathology and diagnosis of this mycosis little is known about the eco-epidemiology of the etiological agent Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. The fungus habitat also is unknown although is thought that the fungus lives as a saprobe in soil. The participation of other anima...

Immunoassays: an alternative for toxigenic fungi detection in foods

Constant monitoring of mould contamination is essential in order to assure the food quality and safety and reduce the economic losses, as well as to minimize the potential hazards to human and animal health. The traditional methods for mould identification and detection (culture in several media, microscopic examination and chemical analysis) are usually time-consuming and require trained staff. Immunoassays, p...
