Journal ArticleDOI

Overlap of latent pathogens in the Botryosphaeriaceae on a native and agricultural host.

James William Montague Mehl, +3 more
- 01 Apr 2017 - 
TL;DR: Ability to infect multiple hosts and to migrate amongst them facilitates the establishment and spread of species and genotypes of the Botryosphaeriaceae, such as N. parvum, in new areas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genotypic diversity of Sphaeropsis sapinea from South Africa and Northern Sumatra

H. Smith, +3 more
- 01 Feb 2000 - 
TL;DR: The results indicate that the population of S. sapinea in South Africa has, in all likelihood, arisen as a result of introductions of the fungus on pine seeds imported from various parts of the world during the last century.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hawksworthiomyces gen. nov. (Ophiostomatales), illustrates the urgency for a decision on how to name novel taxa known only from environmental nucleic acid sequences (ENAS)

Z. Wilhelm de Beer, +5 more
- 01 Nov 2016 - 
TL;DR: This case study makes it clear that environmental sequences and those from lost isolates can be extremely valuable in phylogeny-based taxonomic studies, and emphasises the fact that the Code should be emended to enable the naming of such taxa in a manner that will facilitate their incorporation in other studies.
Journal Article

A new lepidopteran insect pest discovered on commercially grown Eucalyptus nitens in South Africa

Solomon Gebeyehu, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2005 - 
TL;DR: A wood-boring moth (Lepidoptera : Cossidae) recently discovered damaging Eucalyptus nitensl/Ig trees in plantations growing in the Lothair / Carolina area appears to represent a sudden new host association, of significant concern to South African forestry.
Journal ArticleDOI

A re-evaluation of Cylindrocladiella, and a comparison with morphologically similar genera

Pedro W. Crous, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1993 - 
TL;DR: Gliocladiopsis is distinguished from Cylindrocarpon by having uniformly cylindrical conidia, more numerous conidiophore branches, and more numerous phialides per branch, and the name G. tenuis proposed is proposed.
