Soil‐dependent variation in strigolactone signaling distance revealed by a parasitic seed germination bioassay

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A parasitic seed germination bioassay reveals strong soil‐dependent variation in strigolactone signaling distance, controlled by physical and biological soil properties, which shapes signaling range and parasitic weed infection risk. Abstract BACKGROUND Strigolactones are root‐exuded plant metabolites acting as germination stimulants for several ...

Presence and abundance of airborne Botryosphaeriaceae conidia are governed by temperature and season in the Okanagan Valley, Canada

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Presence and abundance of Botryosphaeria dieback inoculum were determined using spore trapping and droplet digital polymerase chain reaction in British Columbia, Canada. Highest inoculum was recorded in spring (April–June) and again in summer (July–September). These results suggest early pruning in December–January can mitigate pruning wound infections.

Evaluation of electrolyzed water to control fungal trunk pathogens in grapevine nurseries

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1740-1751, April 2025.
Electrolyzed water treatments could have promising applications in the grapevine nursery process to prevent or reduce infections caused by fungal trunk pathogens on grapevine propagation material. Abstract BACKGROUND Grapevine producers demand solutions to control fungal trunk pathogens (FTPs) in nurseries.

Classification of tree species and standing dead trees in Boreal forests using UAV‐based RGB, multispectral, and LiDAR point clouds

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We evaluated single‐ and multi‐sensor UAV approaches for classifying tree species and standing dead trees in boreal forests, focusing on key biodiversity indicators such as European aspen. Using spectral and structural features extracted from RGB, multispectral (MSP), and LiDAR point clouds for 1,205 field‐measured trees, we compared classification ...

Airborne fungi in an intensive care unit

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2017
The presence of airborne fungi in Intensive Care Unit (ICUs) is associated with increased nosocomial infections. The aim of this study was the isolation and identification of airborne fungi presented in an ICU from the University Hospital of Pelotas – RS,

Establishment of a Human Cell‐Based In Vitro Test System for Investigating and Evaluating Cytotoxic and Immunomodulatory Effects of Indoor Mold

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mold growth in damp indoor environments is a widespread problem associated with respiratory health effects, though causal mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We established a human cell‐based in vitro test system using bronchial epithelial cells (NuLi‐1) and macrophages (THP‐1) to assess inhalation toxicity and immunomodulatory effects ...

Hidden Mould in the Air: A Practical Narrative Mini-Review of Invasive Mould Infection Prevention for High-Risk Patients and Clinicians. [PDF]

Mycoses
ABSTRACT Airborne mould spores, including those of the Aspergillus species, are ubiquitous both indoors and outdoors. While they are generally harmless, inhaled spores can cause severe infections, particularly invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, in patients with impaired immune defences.

Photocatalytic and Biotechnological Strategies for Remediation of Persistent Organic Pollutants: Mechanisms, Toxicity, and Antimicrobial Perspectives

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and global distribution. Conventional remediation methods are often inadequate for achieving complete mineralization, demonstrating the need for advanced and substantial approaches.
