No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 1998-01-01; Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, the causative agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), was first isolated from armadillos from the Amazonian region where the mycosis is uncommon. In the present study, we report on the high incidence of PCM infection in armadillos from a hyperendemic region of the disease. ...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 1995-01-01; Neosartorya udagawae, a new heterothallic species isolated from Brazilian soil, is described and illustrated. It is characterized by dull green colony on malt extract agar, light yellow large ascomata, broadly lenticular ascospores with two equatorial or several irregular crests and tuberculate convex s...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 1995-01-01; Among the isolates from soil of corn and sugar cane plantations in São Paulo State, Brazil, two new species of Neosartorya, IV. botucatensis and IV. paulistensis, are described and illustrated. Neosartorya botucatensis differs from the other known species of the genus in having ascospores with long spin...
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis, restrict to Latin America, with higher incidence in Brazil. ddY mice have been used as experimental PCM model, although there is no data regarding immune response. The aim of the present study was evaluated specific humoral response against the main specific antigen of the fungal Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, the gp43, in ddY mice infected with virulent Pb 18...
To investigate the role of some adverse environmental conditions in chlamy-dospore formation by the mycelial form of P. brasiliensis, we cultured four P. brasiliensis isolates (18, Bt4, 1183, Pb9) at 25°C within solid agar medium either rich or poor in nutrients. Isolates 18 and 1183 were also cultured under anaerobiosis in a nitrogen atmosphere. Isolate 18 produced great number of terminal and intercalary chla...
