Chemically induced disseminated pythiosis in BALB/c mice: A new experimental model for Pythium insidiosum infection

Pythiosis is a severe and life-threatening disease that affects humans and various animal species. We report a model of vascular/disseminated pythiosis occurring after subcutaneous inoculation of 2 x 10(4) Pythium insidiosum zoospores/mL in immunocompromised BALB/c mice.
