Phylogenetic analysis reveals a high level of speciation in the Paracoccidioides genus.

TL;DR: Using the genealogic concordance method of phylogenetic species recognition (GCPSR) via maximum parsimony and Bayesian analysis, a clade of 17 genotypically similar isolates, including Pb01, which are distinct from the S1/PS2/P3 clade are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Species boundaries in the human pathogen Paracoccidioides

TL;DR: It is hypothesized and further demonstrated that the mito-nuclear incongruence in the brasiliensis species complex results from interspecific hybridization and mitochondrial introgression, a common phenomenon in eukaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Human Fungal Pathogens Causing Paracoccidioidomycosis

TL;DR: Gene family content across Onygenales and related fungi is characterized, and within Paracoccidioides the authors found expansions of the fungal-specific kinase family FunK1, and capabilities for degrading plant and animal substrates suggest a duality in lifestyle that could enable pathogenic species of OnYgenales to transfer from soil to animal hosts.
