The Gram‐negative bacterium, Flavobacterium psychrophilum, is endemic to California, USA, where it is an important pathogen in salmonid aquaculture, especially in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Disease outbreaks caused by F. psychrophilum in rainbow trout fingerlings can approach 90% mortality, resulting in millions of dollars of economic losses annually. The focus of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of 49 F. psychrophilum isolates collected from disease outbreaks in 17 salmonid hatcheries in California, USA, from 2015 to 2018 using multilocus sequence typing. Results suggest California F. psychrophilum isolates are diverse, representing 11 distinct sequence types (STs), three of which were previously undescribed. Still, the majority of genotyped isolates (n = 41) belonged to a single clonal complex (CC), CC‐ST10, which is the largest CC worldwide and has been linked to disease outbreaks on several continents. Results of this study provide evidence of marked intraspecific genetic diversity of F. psychrophilum from California. The biological significance of this genetic variability is unclear but could have implications for future vaccine development and treatments. Further studies investigating the virulence, antigenic, and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of F. psychrophilum are warranted to better understand the epizootiology of this pathogen in the Western United States. 相似文献

Small cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton) is extensively cultivated in the Western Ghats of South India either as a monocrop under the forest trees or as an intercrop along with arecanut and coffee plantations. Colletotrichum species responsible for severe outbreaks of anthracnose on small cardamom in South India are reported. Small cardamom anthracnose, popularly known as “Chenthal”, manifests itself on the foliage as yellowish lesions, which later coalesce to form large blighted areas. In advanced stages, the affected leaves dry up giving a burnt appearance to the plant. Twenty-five isolates of Colletotrichum were isolated from leaves of small cardamom in Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu states of India. The isolates were characterized through morphological studies and multilocus phylogenetic analysis (ITS, ACT, CHS-1, GAPDH, TUB2, CYLH3, GS and ApMat gene regions) to test whether different species are present and identified: C. karstii (2 isolates), C. gloeosporioides (1), C. siamense (7), C. syzygicola (6), Colletotrichum sp (5), and C. guajavae (4), as the cause of anthracnose on small cardamom for the first time. Pathogenicity of the six species was confirmed. To our knowledge, this is the first detailed study of Colletotrichum species which cause anthracnose diseases on small cardamom. 相似文献

The effects of freezing, drying, ultraviolet irradiation (UV), chlorine, and a quaternary ammonium compound on the infectivity of the myxospore stage of Myxobolus cerebralis (the causative agent of whirling disease) for Tubifex tubifex were examined in a series of laboratory trials. Freezing at either -20 degrees C or -80 degrees C for a period of 7 d or 2 months eliminated infectivity as assessed by the absence of production of the actinospore stage (triactinomyxons [TAMs]) from T. tubifex cultures inoculated with treated myxospores over a 4-5-month period. Myxospores retained infectivity when held in well water at 5 degrees C or 22 degrees C for 7 d and when held at 4 degrees C or 10 degrees C d for 2 months. In contrast, no TAMs were produced from T. tubifex cultures inoculated with myxospores held at 20 degrees C for 2 months. Drying of myxospores eliminated any evidence of infectivity for T. tubifex. Doses of UV from 40 to 480 mJ/cm2 were all effective for inactivating myxospores of M. cerebralis, although a few TAMs were detected in one replicate T. tubifex culture at 240 mJ/cm2 and in one replicate culture at 480 mJ/cm2. Treatments of myxospores with chlorine bleach at active concentrations of at least 500 mg/L for 15 min largely inactivated myxospore infectivity for T. tubifex. Likewise, there was no evidence of TAMs produced by T. tubifex inoculated with myxospores treated with alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (ADBAC) at 1,500 mg/L for 10 min. Treatments of myxospores with 1,000-mg/L ADBAC for 10 min reduced TAM production in T. tubifex cultures sevenfold relative to that in cultures inoculated with an equal number of untreated myxospores. These results indicate that myxospores of M. cerebralis demonstrate a selective rather than broad resistance to selected physical and chemical treatments, and this selective resistance is consistent with conditions that myxospores are likely to experience in nature. 相似文献
