In the present investigation five pathogenic fungal isolates such as Alternaria alternata, Alternaria macrospora MKP2, Alternaria macrospora MKP4 Alternaria sp. PMK1 and Alternaria sp. PMK2, were isolated from diseased leaves of parthenium plant and found to be pathogenic to this weed. Isolated pathogens were screened qualitatively and quantitatively for lignocellulolytic activities. All the fu...

Although studies have been performed identifying bacteria present in seagull guano, limited studies have been done with fungi, leaving a significant gap in our knowledge of a potentially significant reservoir of human disease. If pathogenic fungi are being deposited by seagulls in their feces then it is possible that the Department of Health might elect to monitor sand, as well as water, for a ...

BACKGROUND Litchi stink-bug, Tessaratoma papillosa Drury (Hemiptera: Tessaratomidae), is one of the most widespread and destructive pest species on Litchi chinensis Sonn and Dimocarpus longan Lour in Southern China. Inappropriate use of chemical pesticides has resulted in serious environmental problems and food pollution. Generating an improved Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy for litc...

background: many studies have been showed that certain illnesses including fungi and bacterial infections can be transmitted to human by contaminated swimming pools water. the main objective of the present study was to detect microbial (bacterial and fungi) and chemical (ph and chlorine levels) pollutions of the all swimming pools water in hamadan city, iran . methods: this study was a cross-se...

The microscopic identification of many pathogenic fungi still depends almost wholly upon morphology, especially upon the size, location, and arrangement of individual spores or groups of spores. The usual procedure is to examine teased wet-mount preparations. These have a number of disadvantages, however. The structures depended upon for the recognition of such fungi as Blastomyces dermatitidis...

Fungi of the genus Phoma are common plant pathogens and saprophytes and are rarely pathogenic to animals.

conclusions this study showed that the collected soil from studied areas was rich of keratinophilic fungi and actinomycetes, therefore hygiene protocol should be taken to prevent the spread of pathogenic and saprophytes fungi in the environment of susceptible person. background keratinophilic fungi are a group of fungi that colonize in various keratinous substrates and degrade them to the compo...

Indonesia is a tropical country that has fair temperature and humidity supporting the growth of pathogenic fungi. Pathogenic fungi commonly encountered infecting humans in are species Malassezia furfur Trichophyton mentagrophytes . Nutmeg ( Myristica fragrans Houtt.) one Indonesian plants known to have potential antifungal activity. The purpose this study was examine activity nutmeg ethanol ext...
