P. lutzii

Paracoccidioides lutzii is a dimorphic fungus that is one of the causal agents of paracoccidioidomycosis, together with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.[1] Unlike P. brasiliensis, which is found throughout Central and South America, P. lutzii is found only in Brazil and Ecuador.[2] It is less virulent than P. brasiliensis.[3]


History

[edit]

It was formerly classified "PB-01 like", and proposed as a new species in 2014,[4] being discovered in the Central Western region of Brazil.[5]
