The opportunistic pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata is a component of the mycobiota of both humans and yellow-legged gulls that is prone to develop fluconazole resistance. Whether gulls are a reservoir of the yeast and facilitate the dissemination of human C. glabrata strains remains an open question. In this study, MLVA genotyping highlighted the lack of genetic structure of 190 C. glabrata st...

Tithonia diversifolia, a member of Compositae native to Central America that produces showy sunflower-like flowers, became an invasive weed in other continents after it was introduced as an ornamental. Little is known about fungal pathogens infecting this plant. Knowledge of its mycobiota is of interest for future biocontrol programmes for T. diversifolia. In Brazil, a cercosporoid hyphomycete ...

A promising alternative for insect pest control in agriculture is the use of entomopathogenic fungi. The objectives this work were to isolate and identify morphologically molecularly strains fungi from crops agricultural forestry interest development biocontrol technologies Argentina. Three Beauveria bassiana, two Metarhizium anisopliae isolated identified. Identity values greater than 99% with...

a large collection of botryosphaeriaceae isolates obtained from fruit and forest trees with fruit rot, canker and dieback disease symptoms in northern provinces of the country were examined in this study. based on morphology and sequence data (its and ef1-α), two species, diplodia mutila and spencermartinsia viticola are illustrated and described as new records for iran mycobiota. furthermore, ...
