Sequence capture identifies fastidious chytrid fungi directly from host tissue
Fungal Genet Biol. 2023 Dec 13:103858. doi: 10.1016/j.fgb.2023.103858. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) was discovered in 1998 as the cause of chytridiomycosis, an emerging infectious disease causing mass declines in amphibian populations worldwide. The rapid population declines of the 1970s-1990s were likely caused by the spread of a highly virulent lineage belonging to the Bd-GPL clade that was introduced to naïve susceptible populations. Multiple genetically distinct and regional lineages of Bd have since been isolated and sequenced, greatly expanding the known biolog...

CfErp3 regulates growth, conidiation, inducing ipomeamarone and the pathogenicity of Ceratocystis fimbriata
In this study, we characterized the ERP3 gene in Ceratocystis fimbriata, which causes the devastating disease sweetpotato black rot. The ΔCferp3 mutants exhibited slow growth, reduced conidia production, attenuated virulence, and reduced ability to induce host to produce toxins. Further analysis revealed that CfErp3 was localized in the ER and vesicles and regulated endocytosis, cell wall integrity, and osmotic stress responses, modulated ROS levels, and the production of ipomeamarone during pathogen-host interactions. These results indicate that CfErp3 regulates C. fimbriata growth and pathogenicity as well as the produc...

Multi-locus sequencing typing reveals geographically related intraspecies variability of Sporothrix brasiliensis
This study investigated the sequence variation of different constitutive genes and established a novel multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme for S. brasiliensis. Specific primers were designed for 16 genes using Primer-BLAST software based on the genome sequences of three S. brasiliensis strains (ATCC MYA-4823, A001 and A005). Ninety-one human, animal, and environmental S. brasiliensis isolates from different Brazilian geographic regions (South, Southeast, Midwest and Northeast) andtwo isolates from Paraguay were sequenced. The loci that presented the highest nucleotide diversity (π) were selected for the MLST scheme. ...
