Opportunistic infections among the renal transplant recipients are very interesting and pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Several uncommon infections can be seen. Opportunistic fungal infections are a common occurrence in this group of patients. Various fungal infections become medical problems for the renal transplant recipients. Of several fungal infections, cryptosporidiosis is an ...

Formulations of Metarhizium anisopliae conidia with oven ash, chalk powder, charcoal and wheat flour at a ratio of 1:4 (W/W) were prepared. Formulations containing charcoal and oven ash had a conidial viability half-life of 4.1–4.3 months at 2071!C. In comparison, unformulated conidia held under the same conditions had a viability half-life of 0.9 month. Bioassays carried out at 2872!C and 7075...

  Fungal infection in the eggs of freshwater fish is well known as a problematic disease. The aim of the present study was to isolate and identify parasitic and saprophytic fungi from affected eggs of rainbow trout at two fish hatchery in Kermanshah province. The sample were inoculated in culture media (SDA,CMA,GPA and stilled water with cotton seed culture) at room temperature (18-24 ° C).17 s...

Wheat is one of the most grown crops in the world. The yield of the wheat can be reduced by fungal infections, like the powdery mildew. The prediction of infestations, that can endanger the yield, is of corresponding importance. This report presents an approach to predict such infestation events in a spatial and temporal dimension, considering hourly weather and longtime climate data. Furthermo...

Onychomatricoma is a rare tumour of the nail matrix with peculiar clinical and histological features and electron microscopic findings. We report on 5 cases with appearances which were misleading. Three presented as longitudinal melanonychia, a previously unreported observation. One case had the appearance of a cutaneous horn. In 3 of the 5 cases the tumour was associated with an onychomycosis ...

Fungal infestation on wheat is an increasingly grave nutritional problem in many countries worldwide. Fusarium species are especially harmful pathogens due to their toxic metabolites. In this work we studied volatile compounds released by F. cerealis, F. graminearum, F. culmorum and F. redolens using SPME-GC/MS. By using an electronic nose we were able to differentiate between infected and non-...

Fruit diseases brought on by fungus infestation leads to postharvest losses of fresh fruit. Approximately 30% harvested fruits do not reach consumers’ plates due losses. Fungal pathogens play a substantial part in those losses, as they cause the majority fruit rots and consumer complaints. Understanding fungal pathogenic processes control measures is crucial for developing disease prevention tr...

Study was carried out for determining the reaction of 83 peppers varieties, breeding lines, and local forms /landraces/ to fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae Kleb. as they are part Balkan Capsicum core collection which deeply phenotyped in recent years. The development disease reported twice high degree resistance 41 accessions. highest percentage highly resistant group genotypes 72%, followe...

Rice false smut fungus which is a biotrophic fungal pathogen causes an important rice disease and brings a severe damage where rice is cultivated. We established a new fungal-plant pathosystem where Ustilaginoidea virens was able to interact compatibly with the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Disease symptoms were apparent on the leaves of the plants after 6 days of post inoculation in the fo...
