Pathogenicity of Fusarium xylarioides, the Causal Pathogen of Coffee Wilt Disease, in Coffee Seedlings and an Alternate Host, Tomato Fruit

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Fusarium xylarioides can colonise tomato fruits (Solanum lycopersicum) as an alternative host to coffee. Alternative hosts such as solanaceous weeds surrounding coffee fields could help pathogens survive, spread and provide inoculum for the next growing season.

Conidia of the insect pathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae, fail to adhere to mosquito larval cuticle [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2014
Adhesion of conidia of the insect pathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae, to the arthropod host cuticle initially involves hydrophobic forces followed by consolidation facilitated by the action of extracellular enzymes and secretion of mucilage.

Molecular evolution and transcriptional profile of GH3 and GH20 β-N-acetylglucosaminidases in the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2018
Cell walls are involved in manifold aspects of fungi maintenance. For several fungi, chitin synthesis, degradation and recycling are essential processes required for cell wall biogenesis; notably, the activity of β-N-acetylglucosaminidases (NAGases) must

Towards a Novel Biocontrol Strategy: High Performance of Optimised Cell Wall‐Degrading Enzymes Secreted by Escovopsis primorosea LBM 277

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Escovopsis primorosea LBM 277 efficiently produced proteases, β‐1,3‐glucanases and chitinases under submerged fermentation using Leucoagaricus gongylophorus cell walls and Mandels complex. RSM‐BBD optimization significantly increased enzyme activity. The enzymatic cocktail remained stable for 30 days at room temperature and pH 4–6, aligning with the ...

Understanding the Hygienic Behavioral Dynamics of Ants Using Multi‐State Models

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 361-370, April 2026.
Leaf‐cutting ants adjust grooming to pathogen risk and vulnerable nestmates. Multi‐state Markov models reveal shorter, frequent self‐grooming bouts and reduced allogrooming persistence under stress, optimizing social immunity via stigmergic decision‐making.
