    Little is known about the biology of the monotypic genus Cornuvesica (Microascales), apart from that isolates are notoriously difficult to culture on artificial media. A recent collection of material resembling this genus ...
  • Cryphonectriaceae associated with rust-infected Syzygium jambos in Hawaii 
    Roux, Jolanda; Nkuekam, Gilbert Kamgan; Marincowitz, Seonju; Van der Merwe, Nicolaas Albertus (Albie); Uchida, Janice; Wingfield, Michael J.; Chen, ShuaiFei (Pensoft Publishers, 2020-12-31)
    Syzygium jambos (Myrtales, Myrtaceae) trees in Hawaii are severely affected by a rust disease caused by Austropuccinia psidii (Pucciniales, Sphaerophragmiaceae), but they are commonly co-infected with species of Cryphonectriaceae ...
  • Epitypification of Ceratocystis fimbriata 
    Marincowitz, Seonju; Barnes, Irene; De Beer, Z. Wilhelm; Wingfield, Michael J. (Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute, 2020-12)
    Ceratocystis accommodates many important pathogens of agricultural crops and woody plants. Ceratocystis fimbriata, the type species of the genus is based on a type that is unsuitable for a precise application and ...
  • Euwallacea perbrevis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), a confirmed pest on Acacia crassicarpa in Riau, Indonesia, and a new fungal symbiont; Fusarium rekanum sp. nov. 
    Lynn, Kira Mary Theresa; Wingfield, Michael J.; Duran, Alvaro; Marincowitz, Seonju; Oliveira, Leonardo S.S.; De Beer, Z. Wilhelm; Barnes, Irene (Springer, 2020-06)
    Non-native Acacia plantations in Indonesia were first reported to be infested by a native ambrosia beetle species, identified as Euwallacea fornicatus in 1993. Recently the level of infestation in these plantations by ...
  • Fungal associates of an invasive pine-infesting bark beetle, Dendroctonus valens, including seven new Ophiostomatalean fungi 
    Marincowitz, Seonju; Duong, Tuan A.; Taerum, Stephen J.; De Beer, Z. Wilhelm; Wingfield, Michael J. (Naturalis Biodiversity Center and Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures, 2020-07-22)
    The red turpentine beetle (RTB; Dendroctonus valens) is a bark beetle that is native to Central and North America. This insect is well-known to live in association with a large number of Ophiostomatalean fungi. The beetle ...
  • Genera of phytopathogenic fungi : GOPHY 2 
    Marin-Felix, Yasmina; Hernández-Restrepo, M.; Wingfield, Michael J.; Akulov, A.; Carnegie, A.J.; Cheewangkoon, R.; Gramaje, D.; Groenewald, Johannes Zacharias; Guarnaccia, Vladimiro; Halleen, F.; Lombard, L.; Luangsa-ard, J.; Marincowitz, Seonju; Moslemi, A.; Mostert, L.; Quaedvlieg, W.; Schumacher, R.K.; Spies, C.F.J.; Thangavel, R.; Taylor, P.W.J.; Wilson, Andrea M.; Wingfield, Brenda D.; Wood, A.R.; Crous, Pedro W.
