ninety one monoconidial bipolaris isolates were obtained from lesions on different parts of rice in different locations of mazandaran province during the summer of 2009. bipolaris species were identified using morphological features such as color and shape of colony and color and size of conidia and conidiophores. the isolates were separated into two species; 85 (93.4%) isolates belonged to bip...

sunn pest is one of the most important cereal pests that affect both grain yield and quality of cerealin iran. one potential control strategy is to use entomopathogenic fungi such as beauveriabassiana vuillemin as mycoinsecticide to control this pest. naturally infested sunn pests inkermanshah province were collected and brought to laboratory. 10 isolates were selected forfurther analysis in th...

The effect of cadmium, copper, lead, zinc, manganese and magnesium on entomopathogenic nematodes S. feltiae was tested under laboratory conditions. The mortality of nematode invasive larvae, their pathogenicity expressed as test insect G. mellonella mortality and reproduction from the test insect bodies were investigated. It was revealed that cadmium, copper, lead and zinc affected an increase ...

In the AbstractIn sentence beginning with “Pathogenicity test was conducted by inoculating healthy 6 weeks old tomato plants conidial suspension of Cladosporium tenuissimum ...”, term “conidial suspension” should have read “fungal suspension”.The correct is:“Pathogenicity fungal and Koch’s postulates were fulfilled phytopathogen re-isolation identification.”

The term virulence has a conflicting history among plant pathologists. Here we define virulence as the degree of damage caused to a host by parasite infection, assumed to be negatively correlated with host fitness, and pathogenicity the qualitative capacity of a parasite to infect and cause disease on a host. Selection may act on both virulence and pathogenicity, and their change in parasite po...

The available passive mode of periodontal infections in mice requires high efficiency of bacterial attachment and invasiveness and is not always suitable to test the pathogenicity of genetically engineered mutant strains. We developed an active mode of oral infection, using microinjection in the marginal gingiva of mice, to test the pathogenicity of a genetically engineered Treponema denticola ...

Germline pathogenic mutations in BRCA1 increase risk of developing breast cancer. Screening for mutations in BRCA1 frequently identifies sequence variants of unknown pathogenicity and recent work has aimed to develop methods for determining pathogenicity. We previously observed that tumor DNA methylation can differentiate BRCA1-mutated from BRCA1-wild type tumors. We hypothesized that we could ...
