Beyond Domestic Cats: Environmental Detection of Sporothrix brasiliensis DNA in a Hyperendemic Area of Sporotrichosis in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

Journal of Fungi, 2022
In Brazil, sporotrichosis has transitioned from a rural to urban disease, driven by a shift in the initiation of infection from the accidental inoculation of organic matter to the traumatic implantation of the fungus by cats.

Antifungal actinomycetes associated with the pine bark beetle, Orthotomicus erosus, in South Africa

South African Journal of Science, 2017
Actinomycete bacteria are often associated with insects that have a mutualistic association with fungi. These bacteria are believed to be important to this insect–fungus association as they produce antibiotics that exclude other saprophytic fungi from ...

Comparing the succession of microbial communities throughout development in field and laboratory nests of the ambrosia beetle Xyleborinus saxesenii

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Some fungus-farming ambrosia beetles rely on multiple nutritional cultivars (Ascomycota: Ophiostomatales and/or yeasts) that seem to change in relative abundance over time.

Phylogenetic relationship of Japanese isolates belonging to the Grosmannia piceiperda complex (Ophiostomatales)

Mycoscience, 2016
Abstract This study was conducted to explore the morphological and phylogenetic relationships of the Japanese isolates tentatively identified as the Grosmannia piceiperda complex (Ophiostomatales, Ascomycota; asexual morph = Leptographium s.l.). The phylogenetic analyses of the internal transcribed spacer 2 and nuclear large subunit ribosomal RNA ...

Spatial Genetic Structure of the Insect-Vectored Conifer Pathogen Leptographium wageneri Suggests Long Distance Gene Flow Among Douglas-fir Plantations in Western Oregon

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Many fungi in the Ophiostomatales are vectored by bark beetles that introduce these fungi directly into their tree hosts. Most of these fungal associates have little effect on their hosts, but some can cause serious diseases.

The Ophiostoma clavatum species complex: a newly defined group in the Ophiostomatales including three novel taxa [PDF]

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2016
Two species of blue-stain fungi with similar morphologies, Ophiostoma brunneo-ciliatum and Ophiostoma clavatum, are associates of bark beetles infesting Pinus spp. in Europe. This has raised questions whether they represent distinct taxa. Absence of herbarium specimens and contaminated or mistakenly identified cultures of O.

Nutrient-Poor Breeding Substrates of Ambrosia Beetles Are Enriched With Biologically Important Elements

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Fungus-farming within galleries in the xylem of trees has evolved independently in at least twelve lineages of weevils (Curculionidae: Scolytinae, Platypodinae) and one lineage of ship-timber beetles (Lymexylidae).

Molecular Diagnosis of Pathogenic Sporothrix Species. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
BACKGROUND:Sporotrichosis is a chronic (sub)cutaneous infection caused by thermodimorphic fungi in the order, Ophiostomatales. These fungi are characterized by major differences in routes of transmission, host predilections, species virulence, and ...
