Fungi are found in virtually every environment, and comprise a significant portion of the normal microflora of healthy individuals. Some species of fungi are aeroallergen sources capable of inducing sensitization and causing exacerbation of asthma and respiratory allergy. Others are transmissible between hosts and may cause no symptoms in healthy individuals. However, immune suppressed individuals may develop invasive disease marked by tissue invasion with a potential for widespread dissemination. Existing therapies for patients consist of antifungal drugs, yet these require prolonged administration with the possibility of adverse side effects, and may be rendered ineffective by the emergenc...
Aspergillus fumigatus is a human fungal pathogen that causes invasive aspergillosis (IA), a major infectious cause of death in the expanding population of immunocompromised individuals such as cancer patients and transplant recipients. The mortality of IA remains high (30-70%) and emerging resistance to triazoles, the first-line antifungal drug class, is of particular concern. Second-line therapies for IA are limited by their toxicity (polyenes) or their lack of fungicidal activity (echinocandins). Identification of novel antifungal targets is an urgent need for improving the outcome of IA. A. fumigatus is a filamentous fungus exhibiting a complex developmental cycle and elaborate mechanisms...
Em 2015, uma pandemia viral explodiu no noticiário, apoiada por alarmes de saúde pública de que o flavivÃrus Zika — por décadas reconhecido como inofensivo — de repente era responsável pela microcefalia congênita (cabeças pequenas, intelecto diminuÃdo). Especialistas alinhados à OMS recomendaram que as mulheres abandonassem o parto. Previsivelmente, seguiu-se um pânico em massa. Nenhuma doença médica humana jamais foi atribuÃda diretamente ao Zika — um quase gêmeo da Dengue, que por si só causa anualmente milhões de casos de "febre quebra-ossos" na América do Sul; nunca com qualquer microcefalia associada! Profissionais de pesquisa médica no Brasil trataram as alegaÃ...
