Capturing the fungal diversity hidden in Eastern Cape dairy pastures Open
Fungi in dairy pastures impact cattle health, yet the diversity of fungal species present in South African pastures remains understudied. Following an outbreak of Sporidesmin-Induced Liver Disease (SILD; caused by the mycotoxin sporidesmin…

Three new species of Fusarium (Nectriaceae, Hypocreales) isolated from Eastern Cape dairy pastures in South Africa Open
A survey of the fungal diversity associated with mixed pastures from Eastern Cape dairy farms in South Africa led to the isolation of 155 Fusarium strains that belong to the Fusarium incarnatum-equiseti species complex (FIESC). Using singl…

Wide variation in aggressiveness and growth in South African <i>Fusarium circinatum</i> isolates with geographical origin as the primary determinant Open
Fusarium circinatum is a globally important fungal pathogen that causes pitch canker on a wide range of Pinus
\nspecies. In this study, we considered mycelial growth in culture and aggressiveness of a South African population
\nof F. circi…
