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. ...
Humoral immune response in experimental ddY mice Paracoccidioidomycosis
Tatibana, Berenice Tomoko; Sano, Ayako; Uno, Jun; Mikami, Yuzuru; Miyaji, Makoto; Nishimura, Kazuko; Itano, Eiko NakagawaParacoccidioidomycosis (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...
Chlamydospore formation by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis mycelial form
Franco, MArcello; Sano, Ayako; Kera, Keiji; Nishimura, Kazuko; Takeo, Kanji; Miyaji, MakotoTo 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...
