(Elsevier, 2018-06)Soil fungal communities perform important ecological roles determining, at least in part, agricultural productivity. This study aimed at examining the fungal community dynamics in the potato rhizosphere across different ...
-
(International Mycological Association, 2017-10-17)Diseases caused by species of Calonectria (Ca.) represent a serious threat to the growth and sustainability of Eucalyptus plantations in China. Symptoms caused by these fungi mainly include leaf blight on trees in ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2017-02-20)It is evident that rabies continues to be a neglected tropical disease; however, a recent global drive aims to eliminate canine-mediated human rabies by 2030. Global efforts have been vested into creating and developing ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-09)Soybean blotchy mosaic virus (SbBMV), a plant virus of the genus Cytorhabdovirus is an economically important virus of soybean reported only from the warmer, lower-lying soybean production areas in South Africa. The virus ...
-
(World Health Organization, 2018-05)PROBLEM : Urbanization, large dog populations and failed control efforts have contributed to continuing endemicity of dog-mediated rabies in KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa. APPROACH : From 2007 to 2014 we used a ...
-
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-05-02)Carbon exchange in drylands is typically low, but during significant rainfall events (wet anomalies) drylands act as a C sink. During these anomalies the limitation on C uptake switches from water to nitrogen. In the ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-10)Forest ecosystems characterised by higher tree species diversity have been linked to a reduced susceptibility to pathogens. Conversely, endemic pathogens contribute to forest ecosystem dynamics and process. In the face of ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-09)Polyketides are low-molecular weight secondary metabolites with diverse biological activities. Polyketide synthase (PKS) and other proteins responsible for producing these compounds are often encoded from genes that are ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-09)Ophiostoma quercus (Ascomycota, Ophiostomatales) is a globally widespread, insect-vectored fungus that colonizes a wide diversity of hardwood and conifer hosts. Although the fungus is considered to be non-pathogenic, it ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2018)Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli such as serotype O157:H7 are a leading cause of food-associated outbreaks. While the primary reservoir is associated with cattle, plant foods have been associated as sources of human ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-08)Long-term spatial-temporal investigations of microbial dynamics in full-scale drinking water distribution systems are scarce. These investigations can reveal the process, infrastructure, and environmental factors that ...
-
(Microbiology Society, 2018-04)The Erwiniaceae contain many species of agricultural and clinical importance. Although relationships among most of the genera in this family are relatively well resolved, the phylogenetic placement of several taxa remains ...
-
(Springer, 2017-12)Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) causes various syndromes of citrus and consists of diverse strains which may cause symptoms of differing severity. Lemon is the most important citrus crop produced in Tucumán province, Argentina, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-04)The African fungal tree pathogen, Ceratocystis albifundus, undergoes uni-directional mating type switching, giving rise to either self-fertile or self-sterile progeny. Self-sterile isolates lack the MAT1-2-1 gene and have ...
-
The formation of the Eastern Africa rabies network : a sub-regional approach to rabies elimination (MDPI Publishing, 2017-07-18)International rabies networks have been formed in many of the canine-rabies endemic regions around the world to create unified and directed regional approaches towards elimination. The aim of the first sub-regional Eastern ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017-05-17)During a survey of saprophytic microfungi on decomposing woody, herbaceous debris and soil from different regions in Southern Europe, a wide range of interesting species of asexual ascomycetes were found. Phylogenetic ...
-
(MDPI Publishing, 2017-08-09)Lagos bat virus (LBV) is a phylogroup II lyssavirus exclusively found in Africa. Previous studies indicated that this virus is lethal to mice after intracranial and intramuscular inoculation. The antigenic composition ...
-
(Elsevier, 2017-05-29)The genus Phyllosticta occurs worldwide, and contains numerous plant pathogenic, endophytic and saprobic species. Phyllosticta citricarpa is the causal agent of Citrus Black Spot disease (CBS), affecting fruits and leaves ...
-
(MDPI Publishing, 2017-07-19)Rabies is widespread throughout Africa and Asia, despite the fact that the control and elimination of this disease has been proven to be feasible. Lesotho, a small landlocked country surrounded by South Africa, has been ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018-05)Little is known regarding mating strategies in the Botryosphaeriaceae. To understand sexual reproduction in this fungal family, the mating type genes of Botryosphaeria dothidea and Macrophomina phaseolina, as well as several ...
