| natural occurrence of fusarium and subsequent fumonisin contamination in preharvest and stored maize in benin, west africa. | the natural occurrence of fusarium and fumonisin contamination was evaluated from 1999 to 2003 in both preharvest and stored maize produced by small-scale farmers in four agroecological zones of benin. mycological analyses revealed a predominance of both fusarium and aspergillus in maize samples compared to other genera. the two fusarium species most commonly isolated from maize were fusarium verticillioides (68%) and fusarium proliferatum (31%). atypical isolates of f. verticillioides with some ... | 2005 | 15734565 |
| a molecular based strategy for rapid diagnosis of toxigenic fusarium species associated to cereal grains from argentina. | fusarium species are worldwide causal agents of ear rot in cereals. their toxigenic potential is a health risk for both humans and animals. in argentina, most identification of these fungi has been based on morphological and cross-fertility criteria which are time consuming and require considerable expertise in fusarium taxonomy and physiology. dna based approaches have been reported as rapid, sensitive and specific alternatives to identify the main fumonisin and trichothecene-producing fusarium ... | 2010 | 20965064 |
| dna barcoding, maldi-tof, and aflp data support fusarium ficicrescens as a distinct species within the fusarium fujikuroi species complex. | the fusarium fujikuroi species complex (ffsc) is one of the most common groups of fusaria associated with plant diseases, mycotoxin production and traumatic and disseminated human infections. here we present the description and taxonomy of a new taxon, fusarium ficicrescens sp. nov., collected from contaminated fig fruits in iran. initially this species was identified as fusarium andiyazi by morphology. in the present study the species was studied by multilocus sequence analysis, amplified fragm ... | 2016 | 26781381 |
| fatal breakthrough infection with fusarium andiyazi: new multi-resistant aetiological agent cross-reacting with aspergillus galactomannan enzyme immunoassay. | disseminated infections caused by members of the fusarium fujikuroi species complex (ffsc) occur regularly in immunocompromised patients. here, we present the first human case caused by ffsc-member fusarium andiyazi. fever, respiratory symptoms and abnormal computerised tomography findings developed in a 65-year-old man with acute myelogenous leukaemia who was under posaconazole prophylaxis during his remission-induction chemotherapy. during the course of infection, two consecutive blood galacto ... | 2014 | 24612042 |
