High-Throughput Microsatellite Markers Development for Genetic Characterization of Emerging Sporothrix Species

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Sporotrichosis is the main subcutaneous mycosis worldwide transmitted by animal or plant vectors and often escalates to outbreaks or epidemics. The current cat-transmitted sporotrichosis driven by Sporothrix brasiliensis has become a significant public ...

Three new Leptographium spp. (Ophiostomatales) infecting hardwood trees in Norway and Poland [PDF]

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2018
Species of Leptographium are characterized by mononematous or synnematous conidiophores and are commonly associated with different arthropods. Some of them also produce a sexual state characterised by globose ascomata with elongated necks. Compared to investigations on coniferous trees, the occurrence of Leptographium species on hardwood trees has been

Ophiostomatoid fungi associated with conifer-infesting beetles and their phoretic mites in Yunnan, China

MycoKeys, 2017
The Ophiostomatales is an Ascomycete order of fungi that accommodates several tree pathogens and many species that degrade wood. These fungi are commonly vectored by Scolytine bark and ambrosia beetles.

High throughput screening of fungal phytopathogens caught in Australian forestry insect surveillance traps

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Post-border surveillance for forestry’s high priority pests and pathogens is conducted routinely through established programs focused on the main points-of-entry and across the major plantation growing regions.

Exo‐ and endophytic fungi enable rapid transfer of nutrients from ant waste to orchid tissue

New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 5, Page 2210-2223, June 2023., 2023
Summary The epiphytic orchid Caularthron bilamellatum sacrifices its water storage tissue for nutrients from the waste of ants lodging inside its hollow pseudobulb. Here, we investigate whether fungi are involved in the rapid translocation of nutrients.

Limitations of Common Molecular Markers in Fungal Biodiversity Analysis and the Benefits of Their Synergistic Use. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT High‐throughput sequencing of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) regions is the primary method for estimating fungal diversity from environmental DNA. However, reliance solely on ITS markers is complicated by its high variability in sequence length and the presence of multiple variants within a single genome, which can bias diversity ...

Functional roles of nematodes associated with the walnut twig beetle and eastern black walnut in the inland northwest

Forest Pathology, Volume 53, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Beetles (Scolytinae) form intimate associations with a taxonomically and functionally diverse suite of nematodes that are phytopathogens, fungal feeders, and entomoparasites. Despite their ubiquity, the ecological significance of nematodes in the lifecycles of economically important bark and ambrosia beetle species (Curculionidae: Scolytinae ...

Current situation of endemic mycosis in the Americas and the Caribbean: Proceedings of the first international meeting on endemic mycoses of the Americas (IMEMA)

Mycoses, Volume 65, Issue 12, Page 1179-1187, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background The Americas are home to biologically and clinically diverse endemic fungi, including Blastomyces, Coccidioides, Emergomyces, Histoplasma, Paracoccidioides and Sporothrix. In endemic areas with high risk of infection, these fungal pathogens represent an important public health problem.

Distribution of the Genus Ceratocystiopsis (Ascomycota, Ophiostomatales) on Conifers in Norway, With Description of Four New Species [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract The genus Ceartocystiopsis includes ascomycetes fungi belonging to the Ophiostomatales that are not well recognized in the world. Described species so far have been found mainly in association with bark beetles in the Northern Hemisphere.

Ophiostoma species (Ophiostomatales, Ascomycota), including two new taxa on eucalypts in Australia [PDF]

Australian Journal of Botany, 2011
The genus Ophiostoma accommodates ascomycetes in the order Ophiostomatales, some of which are important pathogens of trees. Although these fungi are well known in the northern hemisphere, very little is known regarding their occurrence or importance in Australia. The aim of the present study was to collect Ophiostoma spp. infecting wounds on Eucalyptus
