Trichoderma metabolites as biological control agents against Phytophthora pathogens
Abstract Trichoderma species are well-known biological control agents. In this study, metabolites from 128 Trichoderma isolates were extracted from liquid cultures using ethyl acetate and tested for their activities against seven Phytophthora isolates. Following preliminary analysis, eight Trichoderma isolates were selected for further tests.

Acanthamoeba genotype T4 from the UK and Iran and isolation of the T2 genotype from clinical isolates [PDF]
The majority of the keratitis-causing Acanthamoeba isolates are genotype T4. In an attempt to determine whether predominance of T4 isolates in Acanthamoeba keratitis is due to greater virulence or greater prevalence of this genotype, Acanthamoeba ...

Heritage grapevines as sources of biological control agents for Botryosphaeria dieback pathogens
Grapevine trunk diseases cause severe damage in grapevines. Management strategies focus on protection of grapevine pruning wounds using chemical fungicides or biological control agents. Botryosphaeria dieback, caused mainly by Lasiodiplodia spp., is one of the main trunk diseases in northwest Mexico.
