Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Amblyomma sculptum showed a plasmatocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana increased plasmatocytes and reduced granulocytes, whereas Metarhizium robertsii did not cause significant changes. Amblyomma americanum showed a granulocyte‐dominant haemocyte profile. Beauveria bassiana reduced total haemocytes and granulocytes. B.

Nonmonotonic (in concentration) conductivity of aqueous solutions of fungal melanin
Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics & Optoelectronics, 2018 The conductivity of aqueous (distilled and natural water) solutions of fungal melanin (purified and non-purified) has been studied. It has been shown that, in the presence of impurities, the conductivity of solution increases (for the concentration 0.1 ...

Laccase Affects the Rate of
mBio, 2020 Nonlytic exocytosis is a process in which previously ingested microbes are expelled from host phagocytes with the concomitant survival of both cell types. This process has been observed in the interaction of Cryptococcus spp.

The cell biology of the Trichosporon-Host interaction [PDF]
, 2017 Fungi of the genus Trichosporon are increasingly recognized as causative agents of superficial and invasive fungal disease in humans. Although most species are considered commensals of the human skin and gastrointestinal tract, these basidiomycetes are ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary High‐throughput molecular studies of museum specimens (museomics) have great potential in biodiversity research, but fungal historical collections have scarcely been examined, leading to no comprehensive methodological assessments. Here we present a whole genome sequencing (WGS) project conducted at the Fungarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens ...

Characterisation of a putative dothistromin biosynthetic cluster : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Molecular Biology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 1999 The fungus Dothistroma pini is a key pathogen in New Zealand (and international) softwood plantations, most notably P. radiata. The mycotoxin dothistromin produced by this saprophytic fungus is believed to play a major role in its pathogenesis ...

Cryptococcus neoformans chitin synthase 3 plays a critical role in dampening host inflammatory responses [PDF]
, 2020 Cryptococcus neoformans is the most common disseminated fungal pathogen in AIDS patients, resulting in ∼200,000 deaths each year. There is a pressing need for new treatments for this infection, as current antifungal therapy is hampered by toxicity and/or

Pinus‐derived membrane vesicles disrupt pathogenic metabolism in fungi
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Needle‐derived vesicles from pine trees impair fungal metabolism and growth, offering a sustainable strategy to control pine pitch canker disease. Abstract Much of what we know about the biological impacts of vesicles (MVs) is derived from Arabidopsis thaliana.
