Rohrscheib et al. (PLOS Pathogens, 2016) [1] discuss the interaction between the pathogenicity of the wMel variant wMelPop, temperature and Octomom copy number. The effect of temperature on wMelPop pathogenicity was already reported in the original work on wMelPop [2]. The absence of pathogenicity at low temperatures was also shown before [3]. We have recently demonstrated, in Chrostek and Teix...

Abstract Fusarium is one of the most important genera phytopathogenic fungi, causing potato wilt in field and tuber dry rot during storage. The objectives this study were to identify species associated with both diseases different growing regions Algeria, assess their pathogenicity. Among 152 isolates collected from symptomatic plants tubers provinces 13 Neocosmospora identified. these three is...

Present research aimed to examine the pathogenicity opportunities of some bacteria which were isolated from freshwater aquaculture ponds fish Oreochromis niloticus, Clarias gariepinus, and Pangasius pangasius. The water feces O. niloticus C. gariepinus in Samarinda, identified as Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, amnigenus. An 0.1 mL-1 each was intramuscular injection evaluated clinical s...

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was isolated and identified for the first time from a flock of Japanese quail suspected to ND in Iran. Birds of the flock aged variously, and some of them died from the disease. Loss of appetite, weakness and decrease in egg production, diarrhea and nervous symptoms were the main clinical signs in the birds. Hemorrhagic lesions of the intestinal tracts and proventr...

The lesions produced by six Candida species on the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of the developing chick are described and compared. It is suggested that CAM inoculation be used as a pathogenicity test for Candida species.

Although the majority of bacteria are harmless or even beneficial to their host, others are highly virulent and can cause serious diseases, and even death. Due to the constantly decreasing cost of high-throughput sequencing there are now many completely sequenced genomes available from both human pathogenic and innocuous strains. The data can be used to identify gene families that correlate wit...

cytospora dieback and canker disease is one of prevalent disease of walnut trees in iran caused by several species of cytospora genus. the aim of this study was to determination of virulence degree in 58 isolates of dominant species, cytospora chrysosperma. isolates from 12 provinces of iran; hamedan, kurdistan, kermanshah, ilam, west azarbaijan, zanjan, markazi, lorestan, chaharmahal va bakhti...
