CP32, a novel anti‐oomycete cyclic peptide, interferes with cell‐wall deposition in Phytophthora infestans

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 11, Page 4013-4029, November 2026.
The small cyclic peptide CP32 effectively inhibits Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of potato and tomato late blight. Combined biochemical and phenotypic analyses demonstrate that CP32 disrupts cell wall biosynthesis, a key process in pathogen infection, resulting in a marked reduction of disease symptoms in plants.

A Validated LNA‐Modified Probe‐Based qPCR Assay for the Fast and Accurate Detection of the Root Rot Pathogen Phytophthora × cambivora on Mycelial DNA and Artificially Inoculated Chestnut Tissue

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 6, November‐December 2026.
In response to the ongoing threat posed by Phytophthora × cambivora to European Fagaceae forests, a qPCR‐LNA method has been developed in compliance with the EPPO PM7/98 standard. This robust detection system is ideal for large‐scale disease monitoring campaigns, epidemiological investigations, routine diagnostics in nurseries and other vulnerable ...

Differential skin microbiomes and disease outcomes in sympatric hosts despite similar infection burdens

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Amphibians are declining worldwide, in large part due to chytridiomycosis: a disease of amphibian skin caused by the fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Resistance and tolerance to Bd infection can exhibit intra‐ and interspecific variation. This variation may depend, among other factors, on the host skin microbiome.

Two glycoside hydrolases decompose the sporangium matrix to release spores during sporangium dehiscence in Actinoplanes missouriensis

mBio
The actinomycete Actinoplanes missouriensis grows as a substrate mycelium and forms terminal sporangia containing a few hundred spores surrounded by an unidentified matrix called the sporangium matrix.

Fungal infection intensity and zoospore output of Atelopus zeteki, a potential acute chytrid supershedder.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Amphibians vary in their response to infection by the amphibian-killing chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Highly susceptible species are the first to decline and/or disappear once Bd arrives at a site.

Frogs, fire, and fungus: The effects of prescribed fire on frog occupancy and health in a biodiversity hotspot

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The global amphibian extinction crisis results from many threats, including anthropogenic climate change, modified fire regimes, and disease. Identifying the effects of these processes is crucial for frog conservation, especially in regions where species experience ongoing prescribed fire and chytridiomycosis.

Ranavirus risk depends on host community characteristics more than the presence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Novel parasite introductions are threatening wildlife communities globally. The degree of threat depends on the ecological context, namely host community characteristics and the presence of other parasites. How these two factors interact to shape the outcomes of parasite introductions is not known. We experimentally investigated how infection following
