Abstract
Paracoccidioidomycosis ceti (PCM-C) is a chronic granulomatous keloidal dermatitis in cetaceans that has been reported worldwide and is caused by Paracoccidioides ceti. Serological cross-reactions among highly pathogenic fungal infections and related diseases have been reported. However, the true cross-reaction of antibodies against P. ceti has remained unknown due to the use of positive control sera from infected dolphins. This study aimed to re-evaluate antibodies from mechanically dislodged fungal cells in the infected tissue of a PCM-C case and demonstrate the actual cross-reaction. The results revealed a limited cross-reaction between PCM-C and paracoccidioidomycosis, while the antibodies did not react with other pathogens such as Coccidioides posadasii, Histoplasama capsulatum, and Arthrographis kalrae. Thus, the method for evaluation of the antibody against PCM-C is reliable, and there is potential for epidemiological study.
