microbial endophytes, which make one of the most important classes of soil microorganisms, induce genetic, physiological and ecological alterations in their host plant and thus increase its yield and enable its cultivation in saline or dry soils or in climates facing biotic and abiotic stresses. the endophyte fungus piriformospora indica exhibits a high effect in plant growth and increased resi...

The vascular disease Verticillium wilt of cacao ( Theobroma ), caused by the soilborne fungus dahliae , is often qualified as a “minor” disease. However, it can cause severe losses locally, for example, in western Uganda and northeast Democratic Republic Congo. This difficult to control, notably due an extended host range prolonged survival soil. Therefore, must be addressed through integrated ...

Amongst the most important agricultural products in Brazil, soybean stands out, mainly as an export good. One of end-of-cycle diseases, Anthracnose, caused by fungus Colletotrichum truncatum (Schwein.) leads to severe damage grain quality and yield. The use natural a substitute for conventional pesticides plant diseases control is alternative found reduce food contamination environmental impact...

Fungi are a kind of eukaryotic cell organisms widely distributed in nature and considered as independent branches existing organisms. There 1 million to 1.5 fungi the world, most which beneficial humans only few harmful humans. Mycosis is an infectious disease caused by that infect animals. The fungus infects mainly from external environment. route infection can be contact, inhalation or ingest...

in vitro antifungal activity of silver nanoparticles, at concentrations of 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 ppm, was studied on five phytopathogenic fungi, and a biocontrol agent. then effect of silver nanoparticle at 6 ppm (optimum concentration) was evaluated on macrophomina phaseolina in greenhouse. for in vitro experiment, the fungal isolates were grown on potato dextrose agar medium amended with si...

Trichoderma harzianum strain ESALQ-1306 was assessed for its potential biological control against Meloidogyne incognita race 4 under in vitro and greenhouse conditions. In vitro, we noticed 64% of conidial attachment on eggs and second-stage juvenile immobilized by the fungus. In greenhouse, cucumber plants were treated with different concentrations of conidial suspensions before and after inoc...

Fungal diseases are among the most common problems that affect tomato fruits, especially after harvesting. The early detection of these may save 60% losses. Thus, this study aimed to detect gray mold disease at an stage on fruits using non-destructive visible/near-infrared (VIS/NIR) technique. Botrytis. cinerea fungus was isolated and identified two specific primer sets (C729+/- BC108+/BC563-)....

Background. Anopheles arabiensis is increasingly dominating malaria transmission in Africa. The exophagy in mosquitoes threatens the effectiveness of indoor vector control strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fungus against An. arabiensis when applied on cattle and their environments. Methods. Experiments were conducted under semi-field and small-scale field conditio...

Solid organ transplant recipients are at risk for invasive fungal diseases, and are also exposed to healthcare-associated mucormycosis. Mainly causing localized cutaneous mucormycosis, Mucor irregularis infection is reported for the first time in a kidney-transplant recipient. A healthcare-associated origin was highly suspected in this case. We performed a literature review and highlight the ch...
