The hypothesis proposed a highly efficient paracoccidioidal ecological strategy based on an important natural reservoir of the parasite, probably in heterothermic animals from fresh water environments. Further, the hypothesis proposed, a transient and variable residence in the soil with a wide aleuriospore dispersion throughout the environment together with an elevated capability of infecting humans, and domestic and wild animals. This paper analyzes scientific publications from the IX International Meeting on Paracoccidioidomycosis held in \u00c1guas de Lindoia, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil from 2-5 October 2005, providing a comparative study among this articles and with other recently published papers and the hypothesis' postulates. Since various findings and observations appear to agree with the postulates, the pursuit of novel, specific research projects in the supposed reservoirs is recommended partially or fully to confirm the hypothesis using classical laboratorial methods and modern molecular biology techniques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0036-46652007000200014","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,4]],"date-time":"2007-10-04T12:34:30Z","timestamp":1191501270000},"page":"131-134","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["On the unknown ecological niche of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis: our hypothesis of 1989: present status and perspectives"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Ismael A.","family":"Conti D\u00edas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of the Republic, Uruguay"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"505","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.1998.58.505","article-title":"Isolation of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis from armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) captured in an endemic area of paracoccidioidomycosis","volume":"58","author":"BAGAGLI E.","year":"1998","journal-title":"Amer.
