Mites of the genus Caloglyphus (Acarina: Acaridae) were associated with obtained from 90% of the fecal pellets collected from C. micheali after more than 50% of decaying peanut pods collected in a field in which pod rot feeding on mycelial mats of the fung...

UNLABELLED Ralstonia solanacearum is a soil-borne bacterium causing the widespread disease known as bacterial wilt. Ralstonia solanacearum is also the causal agent of Moko disease of banana and brown rot of potato. Since the last R. solanacearum pathogen profile was published 10 years ago, studies concerning this plant pathogen have taken a genomic and post-genomic direction. This was pioneered...

In May 2019, mature jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) fruits were found infected with fan-shaped white mycelia and brown to black sclerotia at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur, Bangladesh. The fungus was successfully isolated on potato dextrose agar medium. internal transcribed spacer region of rDNA amplified using primer pair ITS1 ITS4. Based morphology molecul...

background in recent decades bacteriophages have been used as treating agents against some pathogens. also, bacteriophages could be considered as alternatives of antimicrobial agents in plant protection. objectives this study aimed to isolate a pathogen from potato (solanum tubersom) tubers (pseudomonas putida), and of its specific bacteriophage from soil and wastewater. materials and methods i...
