Pythium insidiosum is a protoctista and causes diseases in plants and animals. In Thailand it can cause a unique human infection of three types. The first type is a subcutaneous lesion in thalassaemic patients, with the pathological findings of a granulomatous reaction, diffuse infiltration, and oedema of the vessel walls. The patients responded to a saturated solution of potassium iodide. The ...

Introduction Pythiosis is caused by Pythium insidiosum, a fungus-like organism in the class Oomycetes. It can infect humans and a variety of animal species in tropical, subtropical and some temperate regions. Cases of animal pythiosis have occurred predominantly in horses in the skin and subcutaneous tissue at the limbs and in the ventral portion of thoracoabdominal wall - lesions in the nasal ...

Los Oomycetes son un grupo de organismos que alberga géneros y especies destructivas plantas cultivadas silvestres. En México, especialmente en el Estado Sinaloa, la información sobre esos su presencia aguas superficiales empleadas para uso agrícola es escasa. Esta investigación se realizó con objetivo determinar del género Pythium irrigación Valle Culiacán, México. De septiembre 2018 a enero 2...

The objectives were to evaluate the effects of increasing metal micronutrient concentrations and silicon (Si) on plant growth susceptibility Pythium root rot with hydroponically grown lettuce (Lactuca sativa). In first experiment, was in hydroponic solutions micronutrients iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) supplied at either 0, 2.5, 5, or 10 mg∙L−1. A standard commercial solutio...

Pilasporangium apinafurcum, formerly classified as Pythium apinafurcum, is a unique oomycete that infects plants asymptomatically. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of two variants of P. apinafurcum, JCM 30513 and JCM 30514, isolated from uncultivated field soil in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan.
