Pythium insidiosum: an overview.
Pythium insidiosum is an oomycete pathogenic in mammals. The infection occurs mainly in tropical and subtropical areas, particularly in horses, dogs and humans. Infection is acquired through small wounds via contact with water that contains motile zoospores or other propagules (zoospores or hyphae). The disease, though described as emerging has in fact already been described since 1884. Dependi...
متن کاملA molecular phylogeny of Pythium insidiosum.
Sequence analysis of the ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacers (ITS) was used to establish phylogenetic relationships among 23 isolates of Pythium insidiosum, the etiological agent of pythiosis in mammals. The isolates were divided into three distinct clades that exhibited significant geographic isolation. Clade I consisted of isolates from North, Central, and South America, while clade II...
متن کاملEnzymatic variability among Brazilian Pythium insidiosum isolates.
BACKGROUND Pythium insidiosum is an oomycete classified in the kingdom Stramenopila. P. insidiosum hyphae are not able to initiate infection without the secretion of hydrolytic enzymes, which are considered an important factor in microbial virulence. AIMS To evaluate the extracellular enzymatic activity of 14 Brazilian P. insidiosum isolates and a standard strain (ATCC 58637) by the API-ZYM S...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of Dengue virus 3 from the Pythium insidiosum Transcriptomes
Pythium species are a kind of the fungus-like oomycetes presenting in soil and aquatic environments (Latijnhouwers et al., 2003). They are regarded as serious plant pathogens, resulting in economic losses of many crops. Of known Pythium species, P. insidiosum is the only oomycete that can infect both humans and animals (Gaastra et al., 2010). P. insidiosum causes a lifethreatening infectious di...
متن کاملDoes immunotherapy protect equines from reinfection by the oomycete Pythium insidiosum?
A cutaneous Pythium insidiosum reinfection was diagnosed in an equine in Brazil. Lesions with focal presentation appeared 2 years apart. The first infection and even immunotherapy were not likely to develop enough immune response to prevent reinfection. The use of adjuvants should be considered in the immunotherapy of pythiosis.
