Variation in thermal performance of a widespread pathogen, the amphibian chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Rates of growth and reproduction of the pathogens that cause emerging infectious diseases can be affected by local environmental conditions; these conditions can thus influence the strength and nature of disease outbreaks.

Interference with the germination and growth of Ulvazoospores by quorum-sensing molecules from Ulva-associated epiphytic bacteria [PDF]

, 2013
Ulva zoospores preferentially settle on N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) producing marine bacterial biofilms. To investigate whether AHL signal molecules also affect the success and rate of zoospore germination in addition to zoospore attraction, the ...

Variation in the Resistance of Japanese Soybean Cultivars to Phytophthora Root and Stem Rot during the Early Plant Growth Stages and the Effects of a Fungicide Seed Treatment

The Plant Pathology Journal, 2019
Soybean cultivars susceptible to Phytophthora root and stem rot are vulnerable to seed rot and damping-off of seedlings and young plants following an infection by Phytophthora sojae.

Efficacy of chemical disinfectants for the containment of the salamander chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans [PDF]

, 2017
The recently emerged chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) causes European salamander declines. Proper hygiene protocols including disinfection procedures are crucial to prevent disease transmission.

Movements of Zoospores of Phytophthora capsici

Japanese Journal of Phytopathology, 1966
A new photometrical device for measuring the tactic aggregation of zoospores of Phytophthora capsici Leon. is described in this paper.An annular diaphragm (×100) of Nikon phase contrast microscope was employed for dark ground illumination and reflected light intensity in the microscopic field was measured by an ordinary exposure meter for microscopic ...

A Protein with Unknown Function, Ps495620, Is Critical for the Sporulation and Oospore Production of Phytophthora sojae

Journal of Fungi
While the rapid rise in bioinformatics has facilitated the identification of the domains and functions of many proteins, some still have no domain annotation or largely uncharacterized functions. However, the biological roles of unknown proteins were not

Many roads to reservoirs? How susceptibility and shedding shape host competence in amphibians

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host competence—the ability to acquire, harbour and transmit infections—drives pathogen spread and persistence in multi‐host communities. Evaluating species‐specific competence is critical for predicting transmission, particularly for generalist fungal pathogens like ...

Gaining extensive resistance against clubroot disease through the disruption of a susceptibility gene

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This Commentary examines research by Wu et al. showing that β‐1,3‐glucan synthase‐like 5 (GSL5) functions as a key gene for susceptibility to clubroot in Brassica family members by suppressing immunity regulated by jasmonic acid. Inaction of GSL5 through genome editing provides broad‐spectrum resistance to clubroot.

Negative Chemotaxis of Zoospores of Phytophthora cinnamomi [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1974
SUMMARY: Zoospores of Phytophthora cinnamomi in a concentration gradient of hydrochloric acid or its chloride salts exhibited acute, repetitive turning movements at a point which corresponded to a critical concentration of cation and not to a critical concentration gradient.

Gene expression differs in susceptible and resistant amphibians exposed to Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. [PDF]

, 2018
Chytridiomycosis, the disease caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has devastated global amphibian biodiversity. Nevertheless, some hosts avoid disease after Bd exposure even as others experience near-complete extirpation ...
