Cerebriform colonies of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis isolated from nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) at room temperature

Tanaka, R.; Sano, A.; Franco, M.; Bagagli, E.; Montenegro, M. R.; Nishimura, K.; Miyaji, M. (Blackwell Wissenschafts-verlag Gmbh, 2001-01-01)

Twelve isolates of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis generated cerebriform colonies at room temperature on potato glucose agar slants (PDA). These isolates contained abundant chlamydospores and yeast-like cells and are a subset ...

A critical analysis of isolation of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis from soil

Franco, Marcello Fabiano de [UNIFESP]; Bagagli, E.; Scapolio, S.; Lacaz, C. D. (B I O S Scientific Publishers Ltd, 2000-06-01)

The present review is a critical analysis of positive and negative reports of the isolation of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis from soil. the strains isolated from soil or soil-contaminated material (dogfood, penguin feces) ...

THE EXTENT OF SEED PREDATION BY BRUCHINE BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CHRYSOMELIDAE: BRUCHINAE) IN A HETEROGENEOUS LANDSCAPE IN SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL

Rodrigues, Ligia M. S.; Viana, Jessica H.; Ribeiro-Costa, Cibele S.; Rossi, Marcelo Nogueira [UNIFESP] (Coleopterists Soc, 2012-09-01)

In this study, seed predation rates imposed by bruchines and the composition of bruchine species and their host plants were assessed in a heterogeneous landscape in southeastern Brazil. Fruits were collected from 49 plants ...

High frequency of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection in armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus): an ecological study

Bagagli, E.; Franco, M.; Bosco, SDM; Hebeler-Barbosa, F.; Trinca, L. A.; Montenegro, M. R. (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2003-06-01)

The fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis has been isolated from nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) in different regions where paracoccidiodomycosis (PCM) is endemic. the link between PCM and these animals has ...

Phenotypic characterization and ecological features of Coccidioides spp. from Northeast Brazil

Cordeiro, R. A.; Brilhante, R. S. N.; Rocha, M. F. G.; Fechine, M. A. B.; Camara, L. M. C.; Camargo, Z. P.; Sidrim, J. J. C. (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2006-11-01)

This study extends phenotypic and ecological knowledge of Coccidioides spp., by describing its recovery from soils of Ceara State (Northeast Brazil) and analyzing the in vitro features of the growth of its vegetative phase. ...

Phylogenetic and evolutionary aspects of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis reveal a long coexistence with animal hosts that explain several biological features of the pathogen

Bagagli, Eduardo; Bosco, Sandra M. G.; Theodoro, Raquel Cordeiro; Franco, Marcello (Elsevier B.V., 2006-09-01)

The habitat of the mycelial saprobic form of Paracoccidio ides brasiliensis, which produces the infectious propagula, has not been determined and has proven difficult for mycologists to describe. the fungus has been rarely ...

Spatial and temporal dynamics of the abundance of crustose calcareous algae on the southernmost coral reefs of the western Atlantic (Abrolhos Bank, Brazil)

Amado-Filho, Gilberto M.; Bahia, Ricardo G.; Mariath, Rodrigo; Jesionek, Michel B.; Moura, Rodrigo Leao; Bastos, Alex C.; Pereira-Filho, Guilherme Henrique [UNIFESP]; Francini-Filho, Ronaldo Bastos (Korean Soc Phycology, 2018)

Crustose calcareous algae (CCA) constitute one of the main reef builders on the Abrolhos Bank, Brazil. Once CCA taxonomy is locally understood, differences in growth-forms may be useful for the delimitation of taxa using ...
