Sporotrichosis is an emergent and subcutaneous mycosis that affects the skin, the lymphatic system, and other man and animals' organs. Fungal infection has a global distribution and is endemic in some Brazil regions, being an important public health problem. The disease is caused by a complex of at least four pathogenic species, including Sporothrix brasiliensis (S. brasiliensis). The imm…

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a deep mycosis caused by species of the genus Paracoccidioides, which induce a systemic granulomatous disease, that preferentially affects the lung tissue. Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (P. brasileinsis) and Paracoccidioides lutzii (P. lutzii) are a dimorphic fungi and through conidia and hyphal fragments begins the infection process. At the beginning of th…
The paracoccidioidomycosis is a deep mycosis, caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (Pb) that attack the lung primarily. This fungus produce a several molecules and the gp43 is the main antigenic component of the Pb. Because the importance of the gp43, monoclonal antibodies were done. Based in the idiotypic network hypothesis, Jerne (1974) suggested that the antibody produced in respons…
Dermatophytes are important fungal infections, the etiological agent, Trichophyton rubrum, being responsible for most cases of superficial fungal infections in the world. Cases of disease severity are rare, but when present, we know that the imbalance of the host's immune system, such as CARD-9 deficiency, would be one of the mechanisms involved in this process. On the other hand, Trichop…
Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous mycosis that can infect men and animals. Because it has zoonotic transmission in most cases and is endemic in some regions of Brazil, it is a significant public health problem, for which there is still no efficient mechanism to prevent the spread and transmission of the disease. Different pathogenic species cause this mycosis, but in Brazil, Sporothrix bra…
Sporotrichosis is an emerging mycosis that can affect the subcutaneous tissue, lymphatic system and other organs in humans and animals. It is a disease caused by a complex of at least four species and one of them is S. brasiliensis. Some fungi are able to release extracellular vesicles (VEs) that influence the immune response of the host. Macrophages are important phagocytic cells, theref…
