First Report of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides on Russian-thistle

Differential susceptibility of Russian thistle accessions to Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

Molecular information suggests that Russian thistle (Salsola tragus L.) in the US may consist of more than one genetic entity. This genetic variation needs to be taken into account when developing agents for biological control of this important weed. Preliminary evidence suggests that there are differences in susceptibility of Salsola sp. to infection by fungal pathogens. In the present study, ...

First report of Colletotrichum dracaenophilum on Dracaena sanderiana

In March 2011, anthracnose symptoms were observed on stems of Dracaena sanderiana as imported ornamental plant in Gorgan, Golestan province (NE Iran). According to the Farr et al. (2006) the pathogenic fungus were identified as Colletotrichum dracaenophilum D.F. Farr & M.E. Palm. 

The Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex

UNLABELLED The limit of the Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex is defined genetically, based on a strongly supported clade within the Colletotrichum ITS gene tree. All taxa accepted within this clade are morphologically more or less typical of the broadly defined C. gloeosporioides, as it has been applied in the literature for the past 50 years. We accept 22 species plus one subspec...

Subcutaneous hyalohyphomycosis caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides.

The coelomycete Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was isolated in pure culture from subcutaneous nodules of the left forearm and elbow of a farmer after traumatic injury. To our knowledge, we report the first case involving this fungus as an etiological agent of subcutaneous infection. The in vitro inhibitory activities of amphotericin B, itraconazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, flucytosine, and fl...
