Lesions of paracoccidioidomycosis on a Brazilian child Little is known about the epidemiology of the new species, as most previous epidemiological reports have focused on P. brasiliensis. Infection with the<unk>  species, known as paracoccidioidomycosis, may be asymptomatic and subclinical, or may form into either acute/subacute (juvenile) or chronic (adult) forms of the disease. P.<unk>  has less adhesion to lung cells than P. brasilensis, potentially explaining its decreased virulence. It is predominantly distributed in the Central west and Amazon regions of Brazil and Ecuador. Social and environmental changes, including increased agriculturalization, deforestation in Brazil, expansion of settlements and coffee agriculture could explain the increased incidence of<unk> , especially in the Rondônia state of Brazil.
