Surface Architecture Of Fungal Pathogens [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Surface components in fungal cells include cell wall molecules and, in certain cases, capsular structures (Figure ​(Figure1)1) and extracellular matrix components. In pathogens, surface molecules are responsible for key events during interaction with the host (Nimrichter et al., 2005).

Dimorphism in fungal plant pathogens [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2008
Fungi are mostly sessile organisms, and thus have evolved ways to cope with environmental changes. Many fungi produce 'dormant' structures, which allow them to survive periods of unfavorable conditions. Another ingenious active approach to a changing environment has been adopted by the 'dimorphic fungi', which simply shift their thallic organization as

The Still Underestimated Problem of Fungal Diseases Worldwide

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
In the past few years, fungal diseases caused estimated over 1.6 million deaths annually and over one billion people suffer from severe fungal diseases (Brown et al., 2012; Anonymous, 2017b). Public health surveillance of fungal diseases is generally not

Fusarium chlamydosporum, causing wilt disease of chili (Capsicum annum L.) and brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) in Northern Himalayas: a first report

Scientific Reports, 2022
Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) and brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) are the most widely grown solanaceous crops in the world. However, their production has reduced over several years due to the attack of various fungal and bacterial pathogens and various ...

mNGS-based dynamic pathogen monitoring for accurate diagnosis and treatment of severe pneumonia caused by fungal infections

Biosafety and Health, 2023
Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has been widely applied to identify pathogens associated with infectious diseases. However, limited studies have explored the use of mNGS-based dynamic pathogen monitoring in intensive care unit patients with

Ecology of Fungal Plant Pathogens [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum, 2016
ABSTRACT Fungal plant pathogens are ubiquitous and highly diverse. Key to their success is high host density, which notably is the case in agroecosystems. Several hypotheses related to the effects of plant pathogens on plant diversity (the Janzen-Connell hypothesis, the dilution effect hypothesis) and the phenomenon of higher biomass in plant

Fungal pathogen controls thrips in greenhouse flowers

California Agriculture, 1998
Western flower thrips cause considerable losses in a wide range of agricultural crops by feeding on leaves and fruit, laying eggs in fruit and transmitting diseases.

National-scale investigation reveals the dominant role of phyllosphere fungal pathogens in sorghum yield loss

Environment International
Fungal plant pathogens threaten crop production and sustainable agricultural development. However, the environmental factors driving their diversity and nationwide biogeographic model remain elusive, impacting our capacity to predict their changes under ...

Proteinous Components of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Are Arrested by the Cell Wall Proteins of Candida albicans during Fungal Infection, and Can Be Used in the Host Invasion

Cells, 2021
One of defense mechanisms of the human immune system to counteract infection by the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans is the recruitment of neutrophils to the site of invasion, and the subsequent production of neutrophil extracellular traps (
