Isolates of Verticillium fungicola collected in 2002 in the Veracruz State, Mexico, and previously identified as V. fungicola var. fungicola, were compared to French isolates for genetic polymorphism and diversity in some physiological traits.

Lecanicillium fungicola causes dry bubble disease of the white button mushroom and produces masses sticky conidia. Humans are an important vector in spread this farms. Three hand cleaning treatments (tap water, liquid soap alcohol-based sanitisers (ABHSs)) were evaluated for their effectiveness at eliminating conidia L. from a contaminated index finger. The highly efficacious reducing number vi...
