Fungal disease management in cotton using plant protection products: An Australian perspective

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6010-6023, July 2026.
Cotton disease management requires evidence‐driven use of plant protection products. Progress hinges on integrating chemistry, diagnostics, stewardship and sustainability to build resilient production systems. Abstract Cotton production faces persistent challenges from pathogens that compromise plant establishment, yield, and fibre quality.

Functional Reproductive and Developmental Traits Differences Between Two Macrocystis Ecomorphs: Importance of Neutral Lipids

Ecology and Evolution
The kelp genus Macrocystis presents populations recognizable by distinct morphological traits, which has raised discussions on its taxonomical status.

Environmental detection of the amphibian chytrid fungus in water bodies is associated with host infection along a deforestation gradient

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Linking environmental pathogen detection with host infection patterns can improve surveillance of diseases involving environmental transmission, particularly where direct host sampling is logistically challenging. This approach enables the identification of areas of elevated transmission risk and supports targeted monitoring and management under ...

Zoospore exudates from Phytophthora nicotianae affect immune responses in Arabidopsis.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Zoospore exudates play important roles in promoting zoospore communication, homing and germination during plant infection by Phytophthora. However, it is not clear whether exudates affect plant immunity.

Replace, reduce, refine: A review of animal use in Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans research

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Animal experimentation is common in wildlife disease research. Understanding the impact of this often‐lethal approach is therefore a critical line of inquiry at the intersection of animal welfare and conservation biology. The discovery of the pathogenic salamander chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) in 2013 ignited a large ...

Ex vivo observation of Pythium insidiosum-antigen treated neutrophils on three Pythium insidiosum strains isolated from vascular pythiosis patients

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics
The mechanisms of Pythium insidiosum-antigen (PIA) immunotherapy activating a patient’s immune system are unknown. We evaluated the interleukin-8 (IL-8) serum levels during P.

Fungi Associated With Freshwater Zooplankton Are Taxon‐Specific, Temporally Dynamic and Reflect Allochthonous Inputs

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 14, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The associations between microbes and planktonic invertebrates in freshwater ecosystems are considered key ecological interactions. However, our understanding of the structure, taxonomic specificity, and environmental drivers of zooplankton microbiomes remains poor.

A novel method for efficient and abundant production of Phytophthora brassicae zoospores on Brussels sprout leaf discs

BMC Plant Biology, 2009
Background Phytophthora species are notorious oomycete pathogens that cause diseases on a wide range of plants. Our understanding how these pathogens are able to infect their host plants will benefit greatly from information obtained from model systems ...

Differential Immune Responses Correlate With Chytridiomycosis Severity in Italian Crested Newts

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 13, July 2026.
ABSTRACT In the midst of the current biodiversity crisis, amphibians are severely threatened by emerging diseases such as chytridiomycosis. Characterizing the mechanisms that underlie susceptibility to this disease is fundamental to improve amphibian conservation.

Marine Macroalgae: Prospective Hitchhikers of Ship Ballast

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development, 2018
Invasive alien species, on successful establishment, can displace native species. The threat of invasive species arises in view of their ability to outcompete and destabilize native biodiversity.
