Host-parasite relationship in paracoccidioidomycosis.
Paracoccidioidomycosis (Pbmycosis) is a systemic disease confined to Latin America; its endemic areas extends from Mexico through Central and South America down to Argentina. Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (Pb), its agent, causes disease and mortality specially in rural populations being a major public health problem1).

To obtain inspiration I have turned, as I suppose all my predecessors have done, t...
متن کاملRelative importance of host environment, transmission potential and host phylogeny to the structure of parasite metacommunities
Identifi cation of mechanisms that shape parasite community and metacommunity structures have important implications to host health, disease transmission, and the understanding of community assembly in general. Using a long-term dataset on parasites from desert rodents, we examined the relative contributions of host traits that represent important aspects of parasite environment, transmission p...

متن کاملHost-parasite relationship in murine leishmaniasis: pathophysiological and immunological changes.
The host-parasite relationship in human visceral leishmaniasis remains poorly understood. In the present study, pathophysiological and immunological changes were examined in BALB/c mice infected with Leishmania donovani. These animals developed chronic infection with massive hepatosplenomegaly and hypergammaglobulinemia. In contrast to mice inoculated with 0.8 X 10(6) or 4 X 10(6) amastigotes, ...
