BACKGROUND Fusarium species are among the leading fungal pathogens to cause invasive mould infections in patients with hematopoietic malignancy. The Fusarium species most frequently involved in human infections are Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium verticillioides. However, identification is a cumbersome and time-consuming task. Fusarium is resistant in vitro to many of the antif...

Opportunistic fungal infections are increasingly common in patients who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Voriconazole is frequently used in allogeneic SCT recipients who receive immunosuppressant therapy for graft versus host disease to prevent invasive aspergillosis. Indications for voriconazole use include invasive aspergillosis, candidemia, Scedosporium apiospermum infectio...

BACKGROUND Fusarium species are ubiquitous environmental fungi that occasionally provoke serious invasive infections in immunocompromised hosts. Among Fusarium species, Fusarium ramigenum, belonging to the Fusarium fujikuroi species complex, has thus far never been found to cause human infections. Here we describe the first case of invasive fusariosis caused by Fusarium ramigenum in a human and...

Infections caused by the genus Fusarium have emerged over the past decades and range from onychomycosis and keratitis in healthy individuals to deep and disseminated infections with high mortality rates in immune-compromised patients. As antifungal susceptibility can differ between the different Fusarium species, identification at species level is recommended. Several clinical observations as h...

The article presents the results of studies field resistance winter triticale varieties to a number diseases that have significant impact on formation grain yield. It was established Talva 100, Kornet, Student had no signs damage by ergot, powdery mildew. 100 and Cornet were weakly affected septoria, fusarium snow mold, ear fusarium. moderately leaf rust. variety in relation studied more septor...
