Granulomatous reaction in the hamster cheek pouch induced by killed Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.
(1995-01-01)
We have studied the role of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis viability in the morphology of paracoccidioidomycotic granulomas in the hamster cheek pouch, an immunologically privileged site. Naive (N = 75) and previously ...
Killing of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis yeast cells by IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha activated murine peritoneal macrophages: evidence of H(2)O(2) and NO effector mechanisms
(Springer, 2008-07-01)
Paracoccidioidomycosis is a deep mycosis, endemic in Latin America, caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Macrophage activation by cytokines is the major effector mechanism against this fungus. This work aimed at a ...

Remote sensing application to estimate fish kills by Saprolegniasis in a reservoir
(Elsevier, 2019-06-15)
Saprolegniasis is one of the most economical and ecologically harmful diseases in different species of fish. Low water temperature is one of the most important factors which increases stress and creates favourable conditions ...
Melatonin and its kynurenin-like oxidation products affect the microbicidal activity of neutrophils
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-02-01)
Activated phagocytes oxidize the hormone melatonin to N-1-acethyl-N-2-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AFMK) in a superoxide anion- and myeloperoxidase-dependent reaction. We examined the effect of melatonin, AFMK and its ...

Spatial and temporal influences of road duplication on wildlife road kill using habitat suitability models
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosBRUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERN, 2014-09-05)
Urban growth and population growth led to the construction of a gigantic road network around the world. This network is responsible for several impacts on fauna, flora and the environment, such as road kill, isolation of ...
Analysis of mechanisms of bacterial (Serratia marcescens) attachment, migration and killing of fungal hyphae
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016-05)
We have found a remarkable capacity for the ubiquitous Gram-negative rod bacterium Serratia marcescens to migrate along and kill the mycelia of zygomycete molds. This migration was restricted to zygomycete molds and several ...
Leukotrienes Produced in Allergic Lung Inflammation Activate Alveolar Macrophages
(KARGER, 2010)
It has been well-documented that leukotrienes (LTs) are released in allergic lung inflammation and that they participate in the physiopathology of asthma. A role for LTs in innate immunity has recently emerged: Cys-LTs ...
