Characterization and sequence variation of the virulence-associated proteins of different tissue culture isolates of African Horsesickness virus serotype 4

Korsman, Jeanne Nicola (University of Pretoria, 2009-08-12)

African horsesickness, a disease of equines caused by African horsesickness virus (AHSV), is often fatal, although the pathogenic effect in different animals is variable. Current AHSV vaccines are live attenuated viruses ...
Mapping QTL conferring resistance in maize to gray leaf spot disease caused by Cercospora zeina

Berger, David Kenneth; Carstens, Maryke; Korsman, Jeanne Nicola; Middleton, Felix; Kloppers, Frederik J.; Tongoona, Pangirayi; Myburg, Alexander Andrew (BioMed Central, 2014-05-22)

BACKGROUND: Gray leaf spot (GLS) is a globally important foliar disease of maize. Cercospora zeina, one of the two fungal species that cause the disease, is prevalent in southern Africa, China, Brazil and the eastern corn ...
Molecular responses of maize to its foliar pathogen, Cercospora zeina

Korsman, Jeanne Nicola (University of Pretoria, 2015)

The defence response of maize (Zea mays) to its foliar pathogen, Cercospora zeina, is not well characterized at the molecular and genetic level. C. zeina causes grey leaf spot (GLS), and high infection levels result in ...
