| a tale of three acaropathogenic fungi in israel: hirsutella, meira and acaromyces. | we review published and unpublished studies conducted in israel with six acaropathogenic fungi, assayed in order to control the citrus rust mite, phyllocoptruta oleivora (ashmead) (crm). hirsutella thompsonii fisher was introduced twice, killed 80-90% of the exposed mites, but due to its requirements for near-saturation humidities was deemed unsuitable for local outdoors conditions. hirsutella kirchneri (rostrup) minter et al. and hirsutella necatrix minter et al. were also introduced and assaye ... | 2008 | 18946714 |
| novel anamorphic mite-associated fungi belonging to the ustilaginomycetes: meira geulakonigii gen. nov., sp. nov., meira argovae sp. nov. and acaromyces ingoldii gen. nov., sp. nov. | three novel mite-associated basidiomycetous species are described in two new anamorph genera as meira geulakonigii gen. nov., sp. nov. (type cbs 110052(t)=nrrl y-27483(t)=as 004(t)), meira argovae sp. nov. (type cbs 110053(t)=nrrl y-27482(t)=as 005(t)) and acaromyces ingoldii gen. nov., sp. nov. (type cbs 110050(t)=nrrl y-27484(t)=as 001(t)). morphologically, these fungi are similar to the yeast-like fungi classified in the ustilaginales, such as pseudozyma species. however, analysis of the d1/d ... | 2003 | 13130065 |
