Verticillium wilt is a serious disease of pistachio caused by Verticilliumdahliae. Control of the disease is difficult due to soil borne nature of the causal agent. Verticillium wilt has been biologically controlled by Trichoderma spp. In the present study, Trichoderma spp. was isolated from soils of pistachio orchards and their effect was investigated on radial growth of Verticillium dahliae b...

Serum resistance associated (SRA) gene has been found to confer resistance to the innate trypanolytic factor (TLF) found in normal human serum; thus allowing Trypanosoma brucei brucei to survive exposure to normal human serum. This study was carried out to examine the presence of SRA gene and identify the origin of T. b. rhodesiense isolates from three districts in Tanzania, namely Kibondo, Kas...

The use of novel isolates of Trichoderma with efficient antagonistic capacity against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL) is a promising alternative strategy to pesticides for tomato wilt management. We evaluated the antagonistic activity of 30 isolates of T. asperellum against 4 different isolates of FOL. The production of extracellular cell wall degrading enzymes of the antagonistic i...

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) suffers from many soil borne pathogens that deteriorate the quality of seeds and are responsible for high yield loss. Practically Trichoderma sp. is used seed treatment, it minimizes supports plant growth promotion activities. In present study, five different isolates spp. were isolated groundnut (A. ) rhizosphere soil. All confirmed by morphological methods usin...

Mycotrophic species of Trichoderma are among the most common fungi isolated from free soil, dead wood and as parasites on sporocarps of other fungi (mycoparasites). In addition, they undergo various other biotrophic associations ranging from rhizosphere colonization and endophytism up to facultative pathogenesis on such animals as roundworms and humans. Together with occurrence on a variety of ...

ABST RACT Trueperella pyogenes (formerly Arcanobacterium pyogenes) is a commensal bacterium present on the upper respiratory and urogenital tract mucosa of domestic and wild animals. It is also the most common opportunistic pathogen and isolated from the infections of cattle such as mastitis, metritis, arthritis and pneumonia. The aim of this study was to determine virulence genes (plo, nanH, n...
