OOMYCETES: LAGENIDIUM GIGANTEUM

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2007
Lagenidium giganteum is a facultative parasite of mosquito larvae that initiates infection by production of biflagellate zoospores that selectively recognize and attach to larval cuticle. Following penetration of the cuticle, the parasite proliferates within the host, killing it within 24-60 h.

THE CRAYFISH PLAGUE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC - REVIEW OF RECENT SUSPECT CASES AND A PILOT DETECTION STUDY

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2006
There are only very limited reports about the occurrence of the crayfish plague in Czechia. In recent years, mass mortalities of Astacus spp. with symptoms of possible crayfish plague were noticed in three streams in the country – two in Central Bohemia (

Commercial biocontrol agents reveal contrasting comportments against two mycotoxigenic fungi in cereals: Fusarium Graminearum and Fusarium Verticillioides [PDF]

, 2020
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of commercialized biological control agents (BCAs) against two major mycotoxigenic fungi in cereals, Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium verticillioides, which are trichothecene and fumonisin producers ...

Exploring nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses in Tara Oceans microbial metagenomes [PDF]

, 2013
Nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) constitute a group of eukaryotic viruses that can have crucial ecological roles in the sea by accelerating the turnover of their unicellular hosts or by causing diseases in animals. To better characterize the

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Calcium signaling in plant defense

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Calcium signaling acts as a central hub in plant immunity, translating pathogen perception into defense responses. This review highlights the channels, sensors, and signaling networks involved, and discusses how pathogens subvert calcium dynamics, as well as how this knowledge may inspire innovative strategies for engineering durable crop resistance ...

New records and observations of macroalgae and associated pathogens from the Falkland Islands, Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego [PDF]

, 2016
Subantarctic and Antarctic regions remain little explored with regards to their seaweed diversity. This study is based upon collections in the early 1970s and 2007–2013.

Molecular Genetics of Pathogenic Oomycetes [PDF]

Eukaryotic Cell, 2003
Parasitic and pathogenic lifestyles have evolved repeatedly in eukaryotes ([93][1]). Several parasitic eukaryotes represent deep phylogenetic lineages, suggesting that they feature unique molecular processes for infecting their hosts. One such group is formed by the oomycetes.

Plasmodesmata‐located proteins: The molecular hubs in noncell‐autonomous immunity

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Plasmodesmata serve as critical battlefields for plant immunity, regulated by diverse proteins. This article provides a comprehensive review of the regulatory mechanisms, challenges, and future directions concerning proteins located within plasmodesmata and their roles in plant defense responses.
