| Abstract (English): |
An overview of current trends in Latin American Experimental Medical Mycological research since the beginning of the 21st century is done (search from January 2000 to December 2009). Using the PubMed and LILACS databases, the authors have chosen publications on medically important fungi which, according to our opinion, are the most relevant because of their novelty, interest, and international impact, based on research made entirely in the Latin American region or as part of collaborative efforts with laboratories elsewhere. In this way, the following areas are discussed: 1) molecular identification of fungal pathogens; 2) molecular and clinical epidemiology on fungal pathogens of prevalence in the region; 3) cell biology; 4) transcriptome, genome, molecular taxonomy and phylogeny; 5) immunology; 6) vaccines; 7) new and experimental antifungals.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
Se presenta una revisión de las más importantes líneas de investigación en micología médica experimental en América Latina desde el inicio del siglo XXI (búsqueda bibliográfica desde enero de 2000 a diciembre de 2009). Usando las bases de datos PubMed y LILACS, los autores hemos escogido publicaciones en hongos patógenos de importancia clínica que, de acuerdo a nuestra opinión, son las más relevantes por su novedad, interés e impacto internacional, basadas en investigaciones realizadas totalmente en la región latinoamericana o como parte de esfuerzos colaborativos con laboratorios de otras partes del mundo. De esta forma, discutimos las siguientes áreas: 1) identificación molecular de patógenos fúngicos; 2) epidemiología clínica y molecular de hongos patógenos prevalentes en la región; 3) biología celular; 4) transcriptoma, genoma, taxonomía y filogenia moleculares; 5) inmunología; 6) vacunas; 7) antifúngicos nuevos o experimentales.
