Fungal infections of the eye--laboratory diagnosis and treatment.

Nepal Medical College journal : NMCJ, 2008
Infections of the eye give rise to severe ocular morbidity and blindness include keratitis, orbital cellulites, endophthalmitis and dacryocystitis. Corneal blindness, in developing countries is predominantly associated with infections. In India, nearly 30-35% of all culture positive infectious keratitis are caused fungi.

Parthenogenic hybrid geckos differ from their sexual counterparts in skin microbiomes but not in rates of water loss

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Parthenogenic hybrid populations often have differing morphological, physiological, and ecological traits from their parent populations, which alongside clonal reproduction contribute to increased fitness. However, slowed rates of co‐evolution can reduce parthenogens' capacity to outpace parasites, resulting in higher rates of parasitism.

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Co‐Occurring Hybrid Zones of House Mouse Parasites Pneumocystis murina and Syphacia obvelata Using Genome Polarisation

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Parasites are expected to hybridise in similar ways to free‐living organisms, although this may be modified by their reduced genome architecture. Recombinant strains and taxa of hybrid origin can be studied in nature where hosts come into secondary contact. Here we apply genome‐wide analysis to parasites from a contact previously characterised

Xylem morphology influences lemon susceptibility to mal secco disease

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In citrus genotypes, xylem vessel density is highly correlated with susceptibility to mal secco disease caused by Plenodomus tracheiphilus. Abstract In plants, xylem is directly involved in conveyance of water and dissolved minerals, mechanical support of the plant, and tolerance to drought stress. Moreover, for several fruit crops affected by vascular

Living in the Mycelial World

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...
