| Abstract: | Spores ofPithomyces chartarum (Berk. & Curt.) M.B. Ellis were only rarely seen on leaves ofNarthecium ossifragum (L.) Hudson collected in summer from five areas in western Norway in which alveld, a photosensitization disease of lambs, is endemic.Cladosporium magnusianum (Jaap) M.B. Ellis was found on all 118 leaf samples collected in the summers of 1990 and 1991. The hypothesis thatP. chartarum contributes to the aetiology of alveld could not be supported, but it is possible thatC. magnusianum may have a role in the causation of the disease. |
