Virulence of M. circinelloides CBS277.49 and NRRL3631 strains in neutropenic murine host. Survival of mice infected (A) intravenously (i.v.) with 1 × 106 and 1 × 105 CFU of fungal strains and (B) intranasally (i.n.) with 5 × 107 CFU of fungal strains show significant lower virulence of NRRL 3631 (*) (p < 0.05). (C) Fungal biomass quantification of liver, brain, kidney lung and spleen 3 days after i.v. infection with 1 × 106 CFU/animal of CBS277.49 and NRRL3631 using real-time PCR. Data represent µg of fungal biomass respect 1 g of mice tissue biomass. Significant differences are indicated (*). Bars indicate the standard deviation from independent experiments.
