| evaluation of pochonia chlamydosporia and purpureocillium lilacinum for suppression of meloidogyne enterolobii on tomato and banana. | meloidogyne enterolobii is one of the most important root-knot nematode in tropical regions, due to its ability to overcome resistance mechanisms of a number of host plants. the lack of new and safe active ingredients against this nematode has restricted control alternatives for growers. egg-parasitic fungi have been considered as potential candidates for the development of bionematicides. in tissue culture plates, pochonia chlamydosporia (var. catenulata and chlamydosporia) and purpureocillium ... | 2017 | 28512379 |
| management of root-knot nematode (meloidogyne incognita) on pittosporum tobira under greenhouse, field, and on-farm conditions in florida. | root-knot nematodes are important pests of cut foliage crops in florida. currently, effective nematicides for control of these nematodes on cut foliage crops are lacking. hence, research was conducted at the university of florida to identify pesticides or biopesticides that could be used to manage these nematodes. the research comprised on-farm, field, and greenhouse trials. nematicide treatments evaluated include commercial formulations of spirotetramat, furfural, and purpureocillium lilacinum ... | 2017 | 28706312 |
| endophthalmitis associated with purpureocillium lilacinum during infliximab treatment for surgically induced necrotizing scleritis, successfully treated with 27-gauge vitrectomy. | to report a case of endophthalmitis associated with purpureocillium lilacinum (p. lilacinum) during infliximab treatment for surgically induced necrotizing scleritis, successfully treated with 27-gauge vitrectomy. | 2017 | 28429128 |
| paecilomyces lilacinus septic olecranon bursitis in an immunocompetent host. | paecilomyces lilacinus is a filamentous fungus that is a rare cause of infection in immunocompromised human hosts. we present a case of lilacinus septic olecranon bursitis in an otherwise healthy 78-year-old male. this patient's case was complicated by wound breakdown after bursectomy and appropriate anti-fungal treatment, requiring a local soft tissue rearrangement. this case demonstrates the need for appropriate and timely medical and surgical treatment in infections involving lilacinus, which ... | 2012 | 22715445 |
