Article Synopsis
- Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is the most common systemic fungal infection in Brazil, caused by fungi from the Paracoccidioides genus.
- A study of 106 PCM cases at a public hospital in Tocantins State showed the disease mainly affects males over 50, with chronic pulmonary forms being the most frequent.
- Environmental tests revealed that over half of the samples contained Paracoccidioides DNA, indicating local infections, and highlighting the Tocantins-Araguaia basin as a new hyperendemic area for PCM, necessitating better health monitoring and diagnosis.
Soil is the principal habitat and reservoir of fungi that act on ecological processes vital for life on Earth. Understanding soil fungal community structures and the patterns of species distribution is crucial, considering climatic change and the increasing anthropic impacts affecting nature. We evaluated the soil fungal diversity in southeastern Brazil, in a transitional region that harbors patches of distinct biomes and ecoregions.
