introduction: the most important subcutaneous fungal infections in man are caused by injury due to contaminated thistles and thorns. from an epidemiological point of view , it is important to recognize the fungi as well as their frequency of them in various thistles and thorns methods: the present research has been conducted on thorns and thistles of 16 regions including cities and villages of ...

Pleurotus eryngii is a mushroom growing in the Bakhtiari province of Iran and is known as a mountain fungus. The fresh fungus is used as a food, and when dried its powder has been used as an anthelmintic drug. We decided to study the anthelmintic activity of P. eryngii on Hymenolepis nana (cestode) and Syphacia obvelata (nematode), using experimental animals. Water extract of P. eryngii wa...

verticillium wilt verticillium dahliae is now a days commonplace in olive orchards in north of iran. root-knot nematode, meloidogyne javanica, as well is one of the most widely disseminated plant parasitic nematodes in olive orchards of iran. this study was arranged to find the effects of two sets of pot beds on these pathogens' interaction. microsclerotia of verticillium dahliae and j2s o...

Introduction: Concha bullosa is the most common variation of the middle turbinate of the paranasal sinuses. When it causes nasal obstruction, osteomeatal unit dysfunction, or rarely chronic infection, surgery is required.   Case Report: We present a fungal infection of concha bullosa, which is a rare indication for surgery of the concha bullosa. A 59-year-old female patient presented with hemif...

in the course of the present study, samples were taken from the non-defoliant strain of verticillium dahliae (ss-4) from infected olive groves in toshan area in southern gorgan. root-knot nematode, meloidogyne javanica, was recovered from infested olive seedlings and after identification was reaned on tomato seedlings cv. rutgers. during the study, one-year-old seedlings of olive cultivars zard...

The present study is based on the investigation of a soil hyphomyces, Paecilomyces lilacinus, an opportunistic bio-control agent, in controlling root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica on tomato in greenhouse conditions. P. lilacinus, effectively promoted the growth of plants inoculated with M. javanica by suppressing its pathogenesis as root galling by the nematode and egg mass production was ...

introduction: there are suspended fungal spores in the air and in the nasal mucosa of adults, especially in areas with a humid climate. several studies have revealed the role of fungi in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (crs) in recent years but it is a topic of controversy, especially in regions with low humidity. the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of fungal species...

Previous research has implicated an endophytic fungus as being associated with fescue toxicity (summer syndrome) in cattle grazing Kentucky 31 tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) pastures. Hay and seed were harvested from Kentucky 31 pastures known to be either fungus-free or heavily infested with an endophytic fungus identified as Acremonium coenophialum Morgan-Jones and Gams. Four diets...

aspergillums can produce and secrete directly afla­toxin m1. during the previous decade several papers pertaining to aflatoxin m1 have been published in different journals. not mention of their more or less scientific aspects, they have fundamentally some problems in different features. in this paper we are going to have a bird's eye view on some articles published on this topic. it is suggeste...
