| fungi associated with bovine abortion in the northern plains states (usa). | mycotic infection was diagnosed in 6.8% of 6,858 cases of bovine abortion and stillbirth examined during a 9-year period. aspergilli were associated with approximately 5% of all abortion cases and 71% of 446 cases that were cultured for fungi and diagnosed as mycotic abortion. aspergillus fumigatus was the most frequent isolate (62%), followed by a. terreus (6.7%), emericella (aspergillus) nidulans (3.0%), a. flavus (2.9%), and e. rugulosus (less than 1.0%). zygomycetes (absidia, mortierella, rh ... | 1992 | 1616983 |
| curvularides a-e: antifungal hybrid peptide-polyketides from the endophytic fungus curvularia geniculata. | five new hybrid peptide-polyketides, curvularides a-e (1-5), were isolated from the endophytic fungus curvularia geniculata, which was obtained from the limbs of catunaregam tomentosa. structure elucidation for curvularides a-e (1-5) was accomplished by analysis of spectroscopic data, as well as by single-crystal x-ray crystallography. curvularide b (2) exhibited antifungal activity against candida albicans, and it also showed synergistic activity with a fluconazole drug. | 2010 | 20680940 |
| resistance of some common fungi to gamma irradiation. | ten species of fungi representing the genera alternaria, aspergillus, caldosporium, curvularia, fusarium, and penicillium were examined for their relative resistance to gamma irradiation from a 137cs source. inactivation doses for dematiaceous fungi in agar medium ranged from 0.6 to greater than 1.7 megarads, whereas those for moniliaceous fungi were less than 0.3 megarad. d10 values (the dose required to reduce the inoculum by 1 log) for curvularia geniculata (greater than 0.29 megarad) exceede ... | 1988 | 3178216 |
| curvularia geniculata, a cause of mycotic keratitis. | | 1964 | 14125129 |
| an animal model of curvularia geniculata and its relationship with human disease. | the conidiospore of curvularia geniculata was observed in the bronchial washings of a patient who subsequently developed pulmonary aspergillosis. curvularia geniculata was grown in culture and used in experiments in mice to explore its possible role as a disease causing agent. the fungus, after intraperitoneal injection, produced granulomas in the liver and spleen. studies on the pathogenicity of this fungus in mice produced similar lesions to those observed in the human case. a comparison of th ... | 1985 | 4039412 |
| selection of alfalfa genotypes for resistance to the foliar pathogen curvularia geniculata. | foliar diseases impose severe restrictions on the persistence and productivity of medicago sativa, both of which may be increased by developing disease resistant and more competitive genotypes that can improve pasture quality. we found curvularia geniculata as the principal alfalfa foliar pathogen in the brazilian state of rio grande do sul (rs). growth chamber experiments evaluated the resistance of alfalfa genotypes 'e1c4', 'cppsul', 'abt 805' and 'cuf-101' to c. geniculata as compared the con ... | 2017 | 28832724 |
| effects of gamma radiation on fungi infected rice (in vitro). | abstract purpose: this work focuses on the effect of gamma radiation on seed born fungi (in vitro) on oryza sativa (swarna, initial evaluation trial-5656). materials and methods: the responses of fungi to gamma radiation (0-4.2 kgy; 0.12 kgy/h) were studied in individual cultures of major seed-borne fungi including alternaria alternata, aspergillus flavus, trichoderma viride and curvularia geniculata. results: the inactivation of individual fungal-viability was noted between 1.0-2.0 kgy for a. a ... | 2011 | 21781005 |
| curvularia geniculata fungal peritonitis: a case report with review of literature. | peritonitis is the "achilles heel" of patients on peritoneal dialysis. fungal peritonitis though not that common is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. we report the first case in the literature of a patient who developed peritonitis caused by curvularia geniculata. we discuss the reported cases of curvularia lunata peritonitis in literature and emphasize the early removal of catheter and treatment with intravenous amphotericin b. | 2005 | 16362599 |

| fungal air spora at ibadan, nigeria. | the fungal air spora at ibadan, nigeria, was investigated by using casella slit samplers. three sites, incorporating three locations at each site, were selected for the exposure of replicate plates during sampling. to provide data on a wide range of saprophytic and pathogenic fungal spores, isolations were made on sabouraud dextrose agar and malt agar plates incubated at 26 and 37 c. altogether over 60,000 fungal colonies were isolated and counted during the 12-month sampling period. the prevale ... | 1975 | 1124919 |

| mycetoma in a grand eclectus (eclectus roratus roratus) parrot. | a grand eclectus parrot with central nervous system disturbances and wing paralysis was necropsied. there were two grayish-black nodules in the upper left thoracic cavity and one nodule in the lower left lung. in addition, several nodules were present in the cerebral hemispheres and optic lobes. the cerebellum had extensive areas of granulomatous lesions. microscopically, brown-staining hyphae were observed in the nodules. curvularia geniculata was isolated from the lesions. a diagnosis of mycet ... | 1986 | 3729893 |
| curvularia fungi presenting as a large cranial base meningioma: case report. | fungal infections are emerging as a growing threat to human health, especially in immunocompromised patients. candida, cryptococcus, and aspergillus are a few of the commonly encountered organisms leading to brain abscesses. in this report, we describe curvularia geniculata as the causative agent in central nervous system infection. | 2008 | 18728558 |
| in vitro antifungal susceptibility and molecular identity of 99 clinical isolates of the opportunistic fungal genus curvularia. | the in vitro antifungal susceptibility of a set of 99 clinical isolates of curvularia was tested against 9 drugs using a reference microdilution method. the isolates had been identified previously to species level by comparing their its rdna and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene sequences with those of reference strains. we were able to reliably identify 73.2% of the isolates, the most frequent species being curvularia aeria, curvularia geniculata/curvularia senegalensis, curvularia ... | 2013 | 23558007 |
| total synthesis and absolute configuration of curvularides a-e. | the first total synthesis of curvularides a-e, isolated from a culture broth of the endophytic fungus curvularia geniculata, is described. the divergent total synthesis reported herein confirmed the absolute configurations of curvularides a-e and supported that these natural products might be obtained from a common biosynthetic pathway. the key steps involved in the synthesis were the diastereoselective hydrogenation of exo-methylene-γ-butyrolactone to α-methyl-γ-butyrolactone, sharpless kinetic ... | 2012 | 23121599 |
| maduromycotic mycetomas in animals; curvularia geniculata as an etiologic agent. | | 1957 | 13424653 |
| black grain mycetoma (maduromycosis) in horses. | black grain mycetoma occurred in two horses, one a cross-bred pony and the other a thoroughbred racehorse. lesions were limited to wart-like growths in one case and a deep-seated girth gall in the other. in both cases the granules in the affected tissues were similar in pigmentation and structure to those produced by curvularia geniculata in dogs. since all the specimens were received in formalin, the causative fungus could not be isolated. these are the first cases of maduromycosis in animals t ... | 1977 | 613294 |
