Fourth meeting of the ISHAM working groups on Black Yeasts and Chromoblastomycosis

Many reports of epizootics from the older literature clearly demonstrate that the black yeast and allies are regularly encountered as causative agents of diseases in vertebrate animals.  In humans, the infections range from mild cutaneous to fatal neurotropism with severe mutilation. These agents could be found in patients without immune disorder or underlying metabolic disease. Outside humans, particularly cold-blooded vertebrates are susceptible mainly to Exophiala species. The ability to assimilate alkylbenzenes present in sweat and nervous tissues has been suggested as a virulence factor, which on environmental species related could represent a potential biotechnological on biodegradation of aromatics hydrocarbonates for bioremediation.

 

We look forward seeing you in Curitiba. Brazil!
