Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and P. lutzii, thermally dimorphic fungi, are the causative agents of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). Paracoccidioides infection occurs when conidia or mycelium fragments are inhaled by the host, ...

The difference in phenotypes of queens and workers is a hallmark of the highly eusocial insects. The caste dimorphism is often described as a switch-controlled polyphenism, in which environmental conditions decide an ...

Seven cobalt(II) complexes of pyrazole derivatives and dinitrobenzoate ligands were synthesized and characterized. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction structure was determined for one of the ligands and one of the ...

Honeybee Apis mellifera are considered essential pollinators in sunflower (Hellianthus annuus) crops for hybrid seed production where they have to transfer pollen from male fertile (MF) to male sterile cultivars (MS). ...

Thermal dimorphic fungi of Paracoccidioides genus are the causative agents of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a systemic endemic disease in Latin America with high incidence in Brazil. This pathogen presents as infective ...

Dimorphic human pathogenic fungi interact with host effector cells resisting their microbicidal mechanisms. Yeast cells are able of surviving within the tough environment of the phagolysosome by expressing an antioxidant ...

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis endemic in Latin America. It is caused by the fungus of genus Paracoccidioides, which switch between two morphological forms according to temperature (thermal dimorphism): ...

Survival at host temperature is a critical trait for pathogenic microbes of humans. Thermally dimorphic fungal pathogens, including Histoplasma capsulatum, are soil fungi that undergo dramatic changes in cell shape and ...

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a granulomatous disease caused by the dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. the immunoglobulin classes and isotypes of antibodies directed to acidic glycosphingolipids (GSLs) and ...
