Drug induced tolerance mechanisms of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans
Candida albicans is a fungal pathogen that already has described mechanisms of resistance. Here we describe mechanisms of drug tolerance.<p></p>

Modelling the spread of Sphaerothecum destruens, a generalist fungal pathogen.
… diseases (EIDs) has increased as a result. Pathogens can emerge in new areas as a direct result of global transport trade or indirectly due to climate–mediated shifts in parasite geographic range. These pathogens can cause considerable ecological and economic damage, as they accelerate …

A tractable nematode model for the emerging fungal pathogen, Candida auris
… is an emerging multidrug-resistant opportunistic fungal pathogen. It</p> <p>poses a significant threat to immunocompromised patients and those with prolonged stays in</p> <p>healthcare facilities. <em>C. auris</em> spreads rapidly in health care facilities through enhanced</p> <p>colonization of …

Integrative Genomic Approaches for Plant Trait Discovery, Fungal Pathogen Identification and Taxonomy
… complex genetic variation, difficulty recovering pathogen genomes directly from diseased tissues, and inconsistent reference resources for fungal and oomycete identification. This dissertation integrates long-read sequencing, metagenomic approaches, and genome-based classification to address these …

Investigation of Clinically Relevant Fluconazole Resistance Mechanisms in the Fungal Pathogen Candida parapsilosis
Invasive candidiasis is a severe fungal infection associated with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly among the critically ill and immunocompromised. Candida parapsilosis is the most common non-albicans species causing invasive Candida infections in pediatric and neonatal populations …

Magnaporthe Oryzae Telomeric Retrotransposon (moter) Relics Further Highlight Telomere Dynamics In A Rapidly Evolving Fungal Pathogen
<p>The telomeres of M. oryzae can experience unique rearrangements within a single generation. These rearrangements are frequently attributed to the presence of two retrotransposons (MoTeR 1 and MoTeR 2) that are endemic to the telomeres. These rearrangements can leave footprints within the …

The effects of endophytic Fusarium verticillioides on the interactions of maize and its fungal pathogen Ustilago maydis.
… including mycorrhizal fungi, endophytes and pathogens inhabit plants, interact with each other, and affect their fitness. Although theoretical studies suggest that the outcomes of multispecies interactions are often different from those of pairwise interactions, most empirical studies have …

Substrate Utilization of the Emerging Fungal Pathogen, Candida auris, and the Antifungal Activity of Select Essential Oils
<p><em>Candida auris </em>is an emerging fungal pathogen that commonly causes nosocomial blood infections in the immunocompromised. Three factors make this emerging pathogen a global threat. First, it is frequently misidentified by commonly used diagnostic platforms. Second, it is able to survive …

Estimating host species and spatial variation in infection with the fungal pathogen that causes snake fungal disease
… efforts. Impacts of emerging multi-host pathogens can vary greatly among species as well as geographically, and understanding which populations will be at greatest risk is essential for conserving biodiversity. Snake fungal disease (SFD), caused by the fungal pathogen Ophidiomyces …

Comparative genomics of bacteria from amphibian skin associated with inhibition of an amphibian fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
Chytridiomycosis is a fungal skin disease in amphibians that is primarily caused by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). We analyzed whole genome sequences of 40 bacterial isolates that had been previously cultured from the skin of four amphibian species from Virginia, USA, and tested for their …

The Structure and Function of Amphibian Skin Bacterial Communities and Their Role in Susceptibility to a Fungal Pathogen
… manipulation of the skin microbiota and pathogen exposure. Results of this study demonstrated that Bd is a selective force on cutaneous bacterial community structure and function, and suggest that beneficial states of bacterial structure and function may serve to limit infection and …

Tetrodotoxin, fungal pathogen infection, and bacterial microbiome associations are variable in the skin microecosystems of two Taricha Newt species
… declines and species extinctions, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). While chytridiomycosis can result in host death, some amphibians are less susceptible to severe infections through intrinsic factors including host-associated skin microbes aiding defense through …

Analysis of Nitrogen starvation induced filamentous growth and characterization of putative essential genes in the human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans
… Candida albicans ist ein opportunistisch pathogener Hefepilz, der sowohl oberflächliche Infektionen der Schleimhaut als auch lebensbedrohliche systemische Infektionen hervorrufen kann. Obwohl die Fähigkeit von C.albicans Infektionen auszulösen weitgehend vom Immunstatus des Wirts abhängt, …

Potential of Pandora neoaphidis (Remaudière & Hennebert) Humber as a fungal pathogen for the control of tobacco aphid, Myzus nicotianae Blackman, on tobacco
… neoaphidis (Remaudiére & Hennebert) Humber as a fungal pathogen for the control of the tobacco aphid, Myzus nicotianae Blackman, on tobacco was evaluated in a 4-year study between 1992 and 1995. The objectives of this study included determination of the seasonal incidence of P. neoaphidis in …

Reprogramming the expression of the double-stranded RNA mitovirus OnuMV1c from the mitochondria to the cytoplasm in the fungal pathogen Ophiostoma novo-ulmi
… of this disease is caused by the ascomycete fungal pathogen Ophiostoma novo-ulmi. A number of strategies have been used to attempt to mitigate the effects of DED but none have met any sustainable success, and the disease continues to have severe ecological and economic impacts. Consequently, …
