ABSTRACT Because less than one-third of clinically relevant fusaria can be accurately identified to species level using phenotypic data (i.e., morphological recognition), we constructed a three-locus DNA sequence database facilitate molecular identification the 69 Fusarium associated with human or animal mycoses encountered in clinical microbiology laboratories. The comprises partial sequences from three nuclear genes: translation elongation factor 1α ( EF-1α ), largest subunit RNA...
True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (e.g. Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the second largest group of based on global richness estimates, with around 3 million predicted species. Compared to plants animals, have simple body plans often morphologically ecologically obscure structures. This poses challenges for accurate precise identifications. Here we provide a conceptual framework identification fungi, encouraging approach integrative (polyphasic) taxonomy species delimitation, i.e....
Scientific communication is facilitated by a data-driven, scientifically sound taxonomy that considers the end-user's needs and established successful practice. In 2013, Fusarium community voiced near unanimous support for concept of represented clade comprising all agriculturally clinically important species, including F. solani species complex (FSSC). Subsequently, this was challenged in 2015 one research group who proposed dividing genus into seven genera, FSSC described as members...
Accurate species-level identification of an etiological agent is crucial for disease diagnosis and management because knowing the agent's identity connects it with what known about its host range, geographic distribution, toxin production potential. This particularly true in publishing peer-reviewed reports, where imprecise and/or incorrect identifications weaken public knowledge base. can be a daunting task phytopathologists other applied biologists that need to identify Fusarium...
Abstract It is now a decade since The International Commission on the Taxonomy of Fungi (ICTF) produced an overview requirements and best practices for describing new fungal species. In meantime Code Nomenclature algae, fungi, plants (ICNafp) has changed from its former name (the Botanical ) introduced formal valid publication species scientific names, including separation provisions specific to organisms treated as fungi in Chapter F. Equally transformative have been changes data...
Soybean sudden-death syndrome has become a serious constraint to commercial production of this crop in North and South America during the past decade. To assess whether primary etiological agent is panmictic both hemispheres, morphological molecular phylogenetic analyses were conducted on strains selected represent known pathogenic genetic diversity pathogen. Maximum-parsimony analysis DNA sequences from nuclear ribosomal intergenic spacer region single copy gene translation elongation...
Fusarium pseudograminearum sp. nov., formally known as F. graminearum Group 1, is described and illustrated. can be distinguished from based on difference in colony growth rates, region of conidia with greatest width, different reactions to near-ultraviolet black-light-blue light concerning the length 3-and 5-septate conidia, absence homothallic production perithecia. Maximum parsimony analysis DNA sequences β-tubulin gene introns exons indicate that represents a phylogenetically distinct...
We investigated Fusarium graminearum complex (Fg complex) species diversity and toxin potential in European Asian regions of the Russian Federation adjoining northwest to Finland south near Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China, expand our knowledge host range geographic distribution these economically devastating cereal head blight pathogens. Results a recently described multilocus genotyping (MLGT) assay revealed that F. was sole Fg pathogen northern Europe predominant one Asia (90.5%)....
We constructed several multilocus DNA sequence datasets to assess the phylogenetic diversity of insecticolous fusaria, especially focusing on those housed at Agricultural Research Service Collection Entomopathogenic Fungi (ARSEF), and aid molecular identifications unknowns via FUSARIUM-ID Fusarium MLST online databases analysis packages. Analyses a 190-taxon, two-locus dataset, which included 159 isolates from insects, indicated that: (i) insect-associated fusaria were nested within 10...
The invasive Asian ambrosia beetle Euwallacea sp. (Coleoptera, Scolytinae, Xyleborini) and a novel Fusarium that it farms in its galleries as source of nutrition causes serious damage to more than 20 species live trees pose threat avocado production (Persea americana) Israel California. Adult female beetles are equipped with mandibular mycangia which fungal symbiont is transported within from the natal galleries. Damage caused xylem associated disease symptoms include sugar or gum exudates,...
Economically devastating outbreaks and epidemics of Fusarium head blight (FHB) or scab wheat barley have occurred worldwide over the past two decades. Although primary etiological agent FHB was thought to comprise a single panmictic species, graminearum, series studies we conducted decade, employing genealogical concordance/discordance phylogenetic species recognition (GCPSR)1), revealed that this morphospecies comprises at least 16 phylogenetically distinct (referred hereafter as F....
The order Magnaporthales comprises about 200 species and includes the economically scientifically important rice blast fungus take-all pathogen of cereals, as well saprotrophs endophytes. Recent advances in phylogenetic analyses these fungi resulted taxonomic revisions. In this paper we list 28 currently accepted genera with their type available gene genome resources. polyphyletic Magnaporthe 1972 is proposed for suppression, Pyricularia 1880 Nakataea 1939 are recommended protection generic...
This article is to alert medical mycologists and infectious disease specialists of recent name changes medically important species the filamentous mold FusariumFusarium can cause localized life-threating infections in humans. Of 70 Fusarium that have been reported infections, close one-third are members solani complex (FSSC), they collectively account for approximately two-thirds all infections. Many these were recently given scientific names first time by a research group Netherlands, but...
