Abstract

A description is provided for
Candida albicans
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE:
Candida albicans
is the commonest cause of candidosis in humans and is also implicated in diseases, notably of the respiratory tract, in birds and other warm-blooded animals. The literature relating to candidosis goes back to approximately 400 BC when Hippocrates described two cases of thrush in his
Epidemics book 3
(translated by F. Adams, Baltimore: Williams + Wilkins, 1939). Infections in humans may be superficial (oral thrush, vaginitis, paronychia and cutaneous candidosis) or deep-seated as a result of dissemination via the blood-stream (e.g. endocarditis, endophthalmitis). Single organs may be involved as a result of direct invasion (e.g. pulmonary candidosis). Candidosis may occur in almost any part of the body but rarely occurs in the absence of one or more predisposing factors.
Candida albicans
occurs commonly as a commensal of mucous membranes and the digestive tract and infection generally results from an overgrowth of the patient's indigenous flora. Predisposing factors involve those associated with hospitalization and serious underlying disease e.g. broad-spectrum antibacterial chemotherapy (see Odds, 1979), use of intravenous catheters and surgical procedures as well as malignant and immunological disorders and intravenous drug abuse. Certain groups within the healthy population are also at risk including neonates (oral thrush), pregnant women (vaginitis) and kitchen workers (paronychia). Chronic mucocutaneous candidosis is a severe superficial disease, usually in children, thought to be linked with cellular immune deficiencies and endocrinopathy syndromes. The pathogenicity of
Candida albicans
has been established by careful clinical studies of patients with candidosis and by laboratory experiments with animals including mice, guineapigs and rabbits. Disseminated candidosis has been produced by intravenous and intra-peritoneal inoculation of unmodified laboratory animals and may affect visceral organs with the kidney generally the focus of infection. Pretreatment with corticosteroids, irradiation etc. generally enhances the susceptibility of the animal to candidosis (see Odds, 1979 for a review of the literature). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Probably worldwide. Reported from Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, North and South America.

Abstract

A description is provided for
Candida parapsilosis
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE:
Candida parapsilosis
is an opportunistic human pathogen which may cause both superficial and systemic candidosis in the compromised host. Although less common than
C. albicans
, it has been associated with vaginitis, peritonitis, oral candidosis, urinary tract infection, septicaemia and endocarditis and represents approximately 5 to 10% of clinical yeast isolates. Meunier-Carpenter isolated
C. parapsilosis
from 13 out of 82 cancer patients with candidaemia (
Am. J. Med
. 71: 368-370, 1981).
Candida parapsilosis
appears to play an important role in the incidence of Candida endocarditis. Odds (1979) in a review of 112 cases found 25.8% due to
C. parapsilosis
, 54.8% to
C. albicans
and the remainder to a variety of other yeasts. There appears to be a link between
C. parapsilosis
endocarditis and intra-venous drug abuse. Reisberg found this organism to be the most common blood culture isolate from drug abusers (
Prog. Cardiovasc. Dis
. 22: 193-204, 1976) and it has also been isolated from heroin syringes used by drug abusers (Brandstett
et al.
, JAMA 243: 1073, 1980. Isolates from animals appear to be rare, although the organism has been implicated in cases of bovine mastitis.
Candida parapsilosis
has been shown to cause gastrointestinal overgrowth in antibiotic treated mice, resulting in spread to visceral organs (Kennedy,
Sabouraudia
21: 27-33, 1983) and to be lethal to alloxan treated mice (Andriole
et al., Yale. J. Biol. Med
. 35: 96-112, 1962), however attempts to infect untreated mice have failed. Equivocal results have been obtained in attempts to produce skin lesions in laboratory animals. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Probably worldwide. Reported from Africa (Egypt, Mozambique, Nigeria and South Africa); Asia (Hong Kong, India, Iraq, Japan, Kuwait, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Thailand); Australasia and Oceania (Australia, Cook Islands, Fiji, Samoa, New Zealand and Hawaii); Europe (most countries); North America (Canada, Cuba, El Salvador and USA); South America (Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Venezuela).

Abstract

A description is provided for
Candida zeylanoides
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE:
Candida zeylanoides
is occasionally associated with candidosis in man and animals. It has been implicated in endocarditis and systemic candidosis in humans and has been isolated from numerous sites including sputum, oral cavity, urine, faeces, feet, bile and pharyngeal swabs. In warm-blooded animals the organism has been isolated from infected udders in cases of bovine mastitis. Few studies have been undertaken on the pathogenicity of the organism. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Most reports are from Europe (including Denmark, Czechoslovakia, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Poland, Yugoslavia). Outside Europe,
Candida zeylanoides
has been isolated in Argentina, Indo-China and South Africa.

Abstract

A description is provided for
Toruiopsis candida
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE:
Torulopsis candida
is one of the less common species of the commensal yeast flora in humans and has been associated with both superficial and systemic infections. The organism has occasionally been implicated in cases of fungal septicaemia and has been isolated from urine, vagina and feet. Veterinary associations of
T. candida
include bovine mastitis, bovine and ovine abortion and isolation from cervical swats in mares. Pathogenicity studies have been carried out by Khon
et al.
who found
Torulopsis glabrata
to be non-pathogenic to normal mice following intravenous inoculation with up to 10 cells but 50% mortality in cortisone treated mice inoculated with similar doses (
Sabouraudia
18: 319-327, 1980). The diseased mice were found to have macroscopic lesions on liver, lung, kidney and spleen. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa (Sudan); Asia (Japan, Kuwait); Europe (Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, UK); North America (USA); South America (Brazil, Venezuela).

. Drechsler (1923) and Nisikado (1928) reported it as causing dark brown to chocolate leaf spots or leaf blight respectively on
E. crus-galli

Abstract

A description is provided for
Pseudomonas agarici
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS:
Agaricus bisporus
the cultivated mushroom;
Agaricus
spp. DISEASE: Drippy gill of mushroom. The name is derived from the numerous cream-grey droplets of bacteria that develop on the gills. They are usually surrounded by a dark brown to black water-soaked spot which increases in size up to 2 mm or more. The droplets also increase in size and may coalesce and bridge the spaces between gills. If infection is severe the gill tissues collapse. Fine longitudinal splits, that become brown with age, usually develop on the stipe. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Australia (NSW, 63, 3168); New Zealand (Young, 1970); Eire (52, 943); UK (cultures in NCPPB) are recorded, but it is probably of world wide occurrence. TRANSMISSION: Details are unknown. Fahy and Lloyd (1983) report that the disease is often found in association with poor compost pasteurization, Young (1970) noted that the bacteria can be found in immature caps with unbroken veils. This suggests that the organism may enter from the bed to the cap in a young stage of the cap's development.

Abstract

A description is provided for
Pseudomonas corrugata
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS:
Lycopersicon esculentum
. Also isolated from symptomless roots of
Medicago saliva
. DISEASE: Tomato pith necrosis. The pith is discoloured brown to dark brown and may show cavities, especially in the lower parts of the stem. External symptoms frequently seen include chlorosis of upper leaves, sometimes a brown to black external stem lesion where the pith is most badly affected, bacterial exudate from leaf scars, pruning and other wounds, and on older plants prolific development of adventitious roots on the stems in areas where the pith is most badly affected. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: South Africa, New Zealand (cultures at CMI), Denmark (62, 6), England, Germany (East 60, 5559; West 61, 6591), Italy (S. Sardinia 63, 1960), USA (CA 62, 2155; F 62, 3656; PA 59, 919 on Lucerne). The distribution is probably much more widespread than these records show. TRANSMISSION: The bacterium is probably common in the environment. It has, for example, been isolated from mains water which was being used to irrigate an affected crop. It is probably also spread from plant to plant by man in cultural operations. The disease is favoured by high humidity or wet foliage and high nitrogen levels in the soil; conditions that favour soft plant growth that is most susceptible.

Abstract

A description is provided for
Pseudomonas tolaasii
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS:
Agaricus bisporus, A. bitorquis, A. arvensis, A. campestris
, edible mushrooms. Also reported to cause losses on
Pleurotus eryugii
and
P. ostreatus
(65, 1655). DISEASE: Bacterial blotch of cultivated mushrooms. Spots of a pale yellow colour arise on the caps as they expand. These enlarge and become dark brown, often wet and sunken, and may coalesce. Stalks are also frequently attacked. The infection does not penetrate deeply, but renders the mushroom unsaleable. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Reported from China (62, 2744), India (57, 2373), Israel (60, 4791) Taiwan (59, 3507), Australia (NSW, Qd, Tas., Vict., 63, 3168), New Zealand (culture in PDDCC), Denmark, France (30: 554), Italy (50, 3375), Netherlands (37: 66), Rumania (42: 359), UK, USA (MD 37: 66, ME 64, 1386, MN, MO, PA 60, 2315). Probably much more widespread than these records suggest. TRANSMISSION: On one farm studied in England the primary sources of infection were the peat and limestone used in the casing process. One percent and two percent of samples respectively yielded the bacterium, which was apparently present as a normal constituent of the associated micro-flora. Water, soil spawn and spawned compost were all found to be free of infestation (Wong & Preece, 1980). Under the right conditions these low numbers are able to increase sufficiently to cause serious disease in beds. Agents of secondary spread within an infested farm are many and complex. Wong & Preece were able to isolate the pathogen from workers' hands, clothing, baskets, ladders, knives, and from cropping house floors. The organism was also trapped from the air inside and just outside infested houses, and in low numbers near the bed surfaces of apparently healthy houses. Spores discharged from diseased mushrooms seemed seldom to carry bacteria, but sciarid flies (
Lycorilla
sp.) and mites (
Tyrophagus
sp.) are able to carry infection.

Abstract

A description is provided for
Xanthomonas campestris pv. phlei
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS:
Phleumpratense
. In inoculation tests Egli & Schmidt (1982) found that
Phleum alpinum, P. arenarium, P
.
bertolonii
(2 cvs.), P.
phleoides
and P.
pratense
(2 cvs.) were all highly susceptible.
Lolium multiflorum
showed mild symptoms in this test, but none in another. Other grasses, including
Festuca pratensis, Arrhenatherum elatius
and
Poa trivalis
showed little or, more often, no symptom development. DISEASE: Bacterial wilt of timothy grass. The symptoms are the same as those caused by
X. campestris
pv.
graminis
on other forage grasses. Young leaves curl and wither and shoots remain stunted or die. In some plants growth continues poorly and small, distorted inflorescences are produced. Chlorotic and necrotic zones form along the vascular bundles of older leaves, often extending to the sheaths. Bacterial streaming is often visible under the microscope from the cut edges of infected tissue. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Norway (Egli & Schmidt, 1982) and Belgium (61, 6162) are the only reports so far, but the disease is probably more widespread in Europe than this would suggest. TRANSMISSION: As for
X. campestris
pv.
graminis
transmission within the crop is thought to be mainly by mowing machinery. The possibility of seed transmission should not be overlooked, although this has not been proved.

Phyllachora brachystegiae
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Recorded from
Brachystegia longifolia, B. randii, B. spiciformis
. DISEASE: Causes leaf spots of
Brachystegia
species. Nothing is known about the development of the disease but almost certainly the fungus causes little discernable damage to the host, in common with other
Phyllachora
species. The mycelium is almost certainly confined to the individual leaflet infected. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe. TRANSMISSION: Not studied; probably by airborne dispersal of ascospores directly infecting leaflets.

Abstract

A description is provided for
Phyllachora contigua
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Recorded from
Millettia caudata, M. pallens
and
M.? stapfiana
. DISEASE: Causes a leaf spot of
Millettia
species. Nothing is known of the development of the disease, but it is likely to cause little damage to the host in common with other
Phyllachora
species. However, heavy infestation would undoubtedly significantly affect the growth rate of the tree. Individual infections are probably confined to the leaves in which they occur. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Sierra Leone. Asia: India. TRANSMISSION: This has not been studied, but probably occurs through air dispersal of ascospores and direct infection of leaves, the ascospores germinating to produce appressoria and infection pegs.

Abstract

A description is provided for
Phyllachora dalbergiae

from Dalbergia ferruginea, D. latifolia, D. nitidula, D. sissoo, D. stipulacea
and
D
.
variabilis
. DISEASE: Causes a leaf spot of
Dalbergia
species. No research into the epidemiology or virulence of this disease has been carried out, but as the host genus is prominent and widespread it seems unlikely that serious damage is caused. In cases where the fungus is well established on the host, however, significant retardation of the growth rate must result. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Tanzania, Zimbabwe. Asia: Burma, India, Philippines. South America: Brazil. TRANSMISSION: This has not been studied, but it almost certainly occurs through the air-borne dispersal of ascospores in wind currents, which then directly infect the host leaves.

A description is provided for
Phyllachora spissa
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Known from
Dalbergia latifolia and D. sissoo
. DISEASE: Causes a leaf spot of
Dalbergia
species. Little is known about the biology and development of this fungus, but in common with other
Phyllachora
species, it appears not to inflict serious damage on the host. It must, however, have a general debilitating effect on the growth of the host tree. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Only recorded from India. TRANSMISSION: This has not been studied, but most or all
Phyllachora
species have air-dispersed ascospores which directly infect host leaves, then germinating to produce appressoria and infection pegs.

Abstract

A description is provided for
Cercospora duddiae
. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS:
Allium ascalonicum, A. cepa, A. fistulosum, A porrum, A. sativum
. DISEASE: Leaf spot or withertip on onion and garlic. The symptoms vary on the different host species. On onion circular, chlorotic spots 3-5 mm diam. form mainly on the tip of the leaf, gradually decreasing in number towards the leaf base. The lesions at the leaf tip coalesce, forming a dry greyish-brown area, and in severe cases the entire leaf tip may be killed. The base of the leaf is mottled with brown necrotic leaf spots. Eventually the necrotic tissue may spread down the leaf surface, delimited by a narrow band (3 mm) of chlorotic tissue (Welles, 1923). Rarely does the disease cause much damage (Chupp & Sherf, 1960). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Mauritius, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Uganda; Asia: Borneo, Brunei, Burma, India, Indonesia, Oman, The Yemen; Australasia: Papua New Guinea; North America: West Indies (Barbados, Jamaica). TRANSMISSION: By air-borne or water-splash dispersed conidia, and by transportation with onion parts. The fungus is also reported to be seed borne (Chupp & Sherf, 1960).
