Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging fungal threats to animal, plant and ecosystem health.
Matthew C. Fisher,Daniel A. Henk,Cheryl J. Briggs,John S. Brownstein,Lawrence C. Madoff,Sarah L. McCraw,Sarah J. Gurr +6 more
TL;DR: It is argued that nascent fungal infections will cause increasing attrition of biodiversity, with wider implications for human and ecosystem health, unless steps are taken to tighten biosecurity worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple emergences of genetically diverse amphibian-infecting chytrids include a globalized hypervirulent recombinant lineage.
Rhys A. Farrer,Lucy A. Weinert,Jon Bielby,Trenton W. J. Garner,Francois Balloux,Frances C. Clare,Frances C. Clare,Jaime Bosch,Andrew A. Cunningham,Ché Weldon,Louis H. Du Preez,Lucy G. Anderson,Sergei L. Kosakovsky Pond,Revital Shahar-Golan,Daniel A. Henk,Matthew C. Fisher +15 more
TL;DR: It is postulate that contact between previously genetically isolated allopatric populations of Bd may have allowed recombination to occur, resulting in the generation, spread, and invasion of the hypervirulent BdGPL leading to contemporary disease-driven losses in amphibian biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity and phylogenetic affinities of foliar fungal endophytes in loblolly pine inferred by culturing and environmental PCR
TL;DR: Endophytic fungi in asymptomatic foliage of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) in North Carolina, U.S.A., are examined to evaluate morphotaxa, BLAST matches and groups based on sequence similarity as functional taxonomic units, and the utility of PD relative to traditional ecological indices is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors driving pathogenicity vs. prevalence of amphibian panzootic chytridiomycosis in Iberia
Susan F. Walker,Jaime Bosch,Virgilio Gomez,Trenton W. J. Garner,Andrew A. Cunningham,Dirk S. Schmeller,Miguel Ninyerola,Daniel A. Henk,Cedric E. Ginestet,Christian‐Philippe Arthur,Matthew C. Fisher +10 more
TL;DR: The power of combining surveillance and molecular data to ascertain the drivers of new emerging infections diseases is demonstrated and it is concluded that the NPH is consistent with the emergence of Bd in Iberia.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of the higher level classification of Pucciniomycotina based on combined analyses of nuclear large and small subunit rDNA sequences
M. Catherine Aime,P. Brandon Matheny,Daniel A. Henk,Elizabeth M. Frieders,R. Henrik Nilsson,Meike Piepenbring,David J. McLaughlin,Les J. Szabo,Dominik Begerow,José Paulo Sampaio,Robert Bauer,Michael Weiß,Franz Oberwinkler,David S. Hibbett +13 more
TL;DR: This study confirms Pucciniomycotina as a monophyletic group of Basidiomycota and assembles a dataset of previously published and newly generated sequence data from two nuclear rDNA genes including exemplars from all known major groups in order to test hypotheses about evolutionary relationships among the Pucciniales.
