Galactomannan Antigen Assay for the Diagnosis of Invasive Aspergillosis: A Study from a Tertiary Care Hospital of Central India

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
Invasive Aspergillosis (IA) is a severe and fatal infection, especially in immunocompromised patients. Galactomannan is a polysaccharide antigen present in the cell wall of Aspergillus species, which is secreted into the blood and other body fluids ...

α‐1,3‐Glucan Is Required for Cell Wall Integrity and Full Virulence of Colletotrichum graminicola, but Not for Evasion of PAMP‐Triggered Immunity

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abbreviated Summary The role of the major fungal cell wall polymer α‐1,3‐glucan in plant infection is poorly understood. Deletion mutants of the maize anthracnose fungus Colletotrichum graminicola lacking all three α‐1,3‐glucan synthase genes differentiated severely distorted biotrophic hyphae in planta, and virulence was strongly reduced.

The Ash Dieback Pathogen Resists the Chemical Defences of Its Host Tree, European Ash, by Depleting Them From the Growth Medium

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant pathogenic fungi are major drivers of disease in forest trees, often causing substantial ecological and economic damage. Ash dieback, caused by the ascomycete Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, has resulted in the widespread decline of Fraxinus excelsior populations throughout Europe.
