A SURVEY ON CITRUS SOOTY MOLD FUNGI IN GILAN PROVINCE, IRAN
author
Abstract:
This study was carried out to determine species composition of sooty mold fungi on Citrus species in Gilan Province, which is located in the North of Iran. This region isolated by Alborz mountain range from other parts of the country with maximum rainfall about 2000 mm/year. A total of seven species belonging to various genera of mitosporic fungi viz., Conidiocarpous penzigii, C. cf. caucasicus, Chaetasbolisia microglobulosa, Leptoxyphium sp., Polychaeton artocarpi, Polychaeton sp. and Tripospermum roupalae were identified. Moreover, two ascomyctes species including Aithaloderma ferrugineum and Trichomerium grandisporum are also recorded as causal agent of sooty mold on Citrus plant in this region. Polychaeton artocarpi is proposed as a new combination. According to literatures, all above-mentioned taxa, are new to Iran mycoflora.

Sooty blotch and flyspeck occur on fruit surfaces and result in economic losses due to less attractive appearance. Sooty blotch fungi form dark mycelial mats whereas flyspeck fungal agents are well characterized with black, sclerotium-like bodies on fruit surface. Whilst more than 60 species have been reported in association with these two fungal diseases, thus far they have not been studied in...

Following human fascioliasis outbreaks in 1988 and 1999 in Gilan province, northern Iran, efforts are now made to shed light on the seasonal pattern of fascioliasis transmission in this endemic area, taking into account snail host populations, climatic conditions and human cases. Populations of the intermediate host snail (Lymnaea spp.) peak in May and November, while there is a fourfold increa...
