N2 - The potential of antagonistic bacteria isolated from tomato rhizosphere soils of Oman in the control of damping-off disease of tomato was investigated. A total of 27 bacterial isolates were isolated from 18 soil samples collected from the rhizosphere of tomato from Al-Batinah South, Al-Sharqia North and Muscat Governorate. These bacterial isolates were tested in vitro for their antagonistic activity against Pythium aphanidermatum using a dual culture technique. Of the 27 bacterial isolates tested, four isolates designated D1/3, D1/8, D1/17 and D1/18 were effective in inhibiting the mycelial growth of P. ...

Pythium is a member of the Oomycota (also referred to as oomycetes), which are part of the heterokont/chromist clade [1, 2] within the Straminipila-Alveolata-Rhizaria superkingdom [3]. Recent phylogenies based on multiple protein coding genes indicate that the oomycetes, together with the uniflagellate hyphochytrids and the flagellates Pirsonia and Developayella, form the sister clade to the diverse photosynthetic orders in the phylum Ochrophyta [2, 4]. Therefore, the genomes of the closest relatives to Pythium outside of the oomycetes available to date would be those of the diatoms Thalassiosira [5] and Phaeodactylum [6], and the phaeophyte algae Ectocarpus [7].. Pythium is a cosmopolitan and biologically diverse genus. Most species are soil inhabitants, although some reside in saltwater estuaries and other aquatic environments. Most Pythium spp. are saprobes or facultative plant pathogens causing a wide variety of diseases, including damping-off and a range of field and post-harvest rots ...

Methods for sampling turfgrass tissue were compared for their effectiveness in monitoring Pythium blight epidemics with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Sample areas consisted of marked strips on golf course fairways and tees with bentgrass and annual bluegrass naturally infested by Pythium aphanidermatum. Samples consisted of 1) whole plants picked by hand and assayed as whole plants; 2) whole plants sectioned into lower, middle, and upper strata components; and 3) leaf clippings collected with a reel mower set at a 1.2-cm cutting height. ELISA readings for mowed samples generally matched those for whole-plucked samples (r2 values ranging from 0.457 to 0.601). Fluctuations in detectable Pythium antigens were most pronounced on the uppermost stratum compared with moderate to very little change in ELISA readings for the two lower strata. Several episodes of Pythium antigen increase were detected by ELISA assays of mowed samples, although signs and symptoms of Pythium blight were not ...

Discussion. Pythium myriotylum and P. volutum were identified as the most aggressive species causing root rot of tobacco seedlings. Pythium myriotylum has been previously reported as the principal species causing this disease (2,4,7). In our study P. volutum was the second most frequently observed species. This is the first report of this Pyhtium species affecting tobacco seedlings. P. dissotocum, P. irregulare, and P. spinosum were also isolated from seedlings that developed root discoloration, but these species did not significantly reduce the production of usable transplants. The pathogen was not recovered in a large percentage of seedlings with visual root discoloration. These last two findings suggest that (a) root discoloration may not a safe diagnostic symptom for Pythium root rot on tobacco seedlings and (b) some Pythium spp. may cause infection but no severe disease development and thus remain undetected. It was also rather unexpected that P. aphanidermatum, commonly found in tobacco ...

Summary: Cytoplasmic and cell-wall antigens and antisera were prepared from four Phytophthora species, and cell-wall antigens were prepared from two Pythium species. Immunodiffusion of the Pythium and Phytophthora cell-wall antigens showed that the two Pythium species did not cross-react with the Phytophthora cell-wall antisera. Immunodiffusion analysis of both cell-wall and cytoplasmic antigens of Phytophthora revealed some degree of specificity between species but not between A1 and A2 mating types in Phytophthora cinnamomi. Species specificity was improved by using indirect fluorescent antibody techniques and by the use of cross-absorbed sera. Agglutination and quantitative precipitation techniques did not significantly improve specificity.

Pythiosis is a rare and deadly tropical disease caused by the oomycete Pythium insidiosum. Long regarded as being caused by a fungus, the causative agent was not discovered until 1987. It occurs most commonly in horses, dogs, and humans, with isolated cases in other large mammals. The disease is contracted after exposure to stagnant fresh water such as swamps, ponds, lakes, and rice paddies. P. insidiosum is different from other members of the genus in that human and horse hair, skin, and decaying animal and plant tissue are chemoattractants for its zoospores. Additionally, it is the only member in the genus known to infect mammals, while other members are pathogenic to plants and are responsible for some well-known diseases in plants. Pythiosis occurs in areas with mild winters because the organism survives in standing water that does not reach freezing temperatures. In the United States, it is most commonly found in the Southern Gulf states, especially Louisiana, Florida, and Texas, but has ...

In-vitro and greenhouse screening of 78 bacterial isolates from sorghum rhizosphere in Ethiopia and 86 isolates from the rhizosphere of grasses at Nylsvlei Nature Reserve in South Africa was conducted in terms of inhibition of Fusarium oxysporum that causes root rot in sorghum. Among the Ethiopian isolates KBE5-7, KBE5-1, KBE2-5 and NAE5-5 resulted in 100% disease suppression while disease suppressions ranging from 85.6% - 95.8% were rendered by South African isolates KBS9-H, KBS9-B, KFP9-A, NAS6-B and KBS5-F. According to identification by means of API and 16S rDNA sequencing, the majority of the effective isolates belong to members of the genus Bacillus. Other Gram negative isolates effective in this study have been identified as Serratia marcescens, Chryseomonas luteola, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Enterobacter sakazaki. Screening of rhizobacterial isolates was also conducted in terms ofin-vitro and in-vivo antagonistic activity against Pythium ultimum Trow, a common soilborne pathogen ...

An often ocurring mould affecting cannabis is pythium. This mould causes root-rot, and rot in the lowest part of the stem. It appears most in young plants, and in cuttings. Larger, healthy plants are less sensitive to pythium. Plants get falling-over disease with a serious pythium attack. Pythium is recognizable by the bark at the base of the stem turning brown. In the beginning, the brown attack is easily removable. Later, the rotting process eats deeper into the base of the plant. Pythium is a fungus which flourishes best in wet and humid environments. Pythium spores spread only with water. Two kinds of spores are formed, swarming ones and stable ones. The swarming spores germinate best at a temperature of approximately 15 degrees Celsius, while the stable spores germinate in relatively warm temperatures 28 degrees celcius. To prevent a pythium attack, a constant temperature of the soil or rockwool is needed. Large fluctuations in temperature should be avoided. Pythium can only be fought ...

The results of this study revealed that P. ultimum sporangia respond to exudates released into the spermospheres of corn and cucumber within 30 min after exposure to seeds, nearly 45 to 75 min before germ tubes emerge. Such an early response indicates that sufficient concentrations of LCUFA must be present in the spermosphere within 30 min after sowing since LCUFA are the only known elicitors of P. ultimum sporangial germination (10). Recent studies of fatty acid exudation from seeds have confirmed that LCUFA, especially oleic and linoleic acids, are released from both corn and cucumber seeds as early as 15 min after sowing (23). Although it is difficult to know the precise concentration and distribution of LCUFA in the spermosphere at any point in time, the calculated concentrations of oleic and linoleic acids are well within the concentrations previously reported to induce high levels of sporangial germination (18, 20). Assuming a spermosphere radius of 5 mm (10) surrounding a 5-mm-diameter ...

With a return to cooler temperatures, combined with frequent rain storms, seedling blight fungi will continue to be a problem for both corn and soybeans. Pythium, a common seedling blight fungus, continues to reduce stands and cause poor early season growth in corn and soybeans.. The Pythium fungus is capable of rotting roots, the mesocotyl on corn, and the hypocotyl on soybeans. Normally this pathogen is not a problem past about June 1 because it is favored by cool soils. However, in years when cooler weather prevails past the first of June, we continue to see Pythium problems in both corn and soybeans. This year, Pythium is continuing to damage replanted corn as well as soybeans. Some growers are replanting corn for the third time and still having mesocotyl rotting from Pythium.. In corn, the Pythium fungus will colonize either the primary (or seminal) or the mesocotyl. Root rotting is characterized by areas of brown discoloration and a soft rotting. The tissues may appear to be water-soaked, ...

Although post infection changes in cell wall constituents are known to induce the immune response in plants against necrotrophs, little is known about the role of the cell wall in mediating resistance in Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Smith (Zingiberaceae) against the soil-borne necrotrophic oomycete Pythium myriotylum Drechsler, which causes soft-rot disease. Using RNA-Seq in combination with custom gene expression microarray we studied the temporal expression profile of 46 wall-associated genes in Z. zerumbet against P. myriotylum inoculation. Many genes that promote cell wall loosening were suppressed. Similarly, the genes involved in the biosynthesis and the signaling of phytohormones and the receptor-like kinases that mediate cell elongation were also suppressed. Several monolignol biosynthetic pathway genes were up-regulated. Histochemistry of the collar region of the aerial stem revealed H2O2 accumulation, increased lignification of the mesophyll cells surrounding vascular bundles in the leaf ...

Disease development. Pre-emergence damping-off is a fungal decay of seeds and young germinants and several different fungi can be involved. Traditionally, Rhizoctonia has been considered to be the major cause of damping-off in ornamental container nurseries (Baker 1957); Peterson (1974) states that four fungal genera (Pythium, Fusarium, Phytophthora, and Rhizoctonia) are being encountered in container tree nurseries. A search of the literature, however, reveals that only Fusarium spp. have actually been implicated as a cause of damping-off of conifer seedlings in containers: Fusarium oxysporum (Schlect.) for Douglas-fir (Graham and Linderman 1983); Douglas-fir, western larch, grand fir, subalpine fir, and ponderosa pine (James 1985a); and Douglas-fir and pinyon container seedlings (Landis 1976). Although F. oxysporum is most commonly mentioned, other members of the genus may also cause damping-off disease of container seedlings. James (1985a) recovered F. avenaceum from diseased conifer ...

Over the course of this two year project, PKPB1 was evaluated as a biocontrol for fungal diseases of vegetable crops in a greenhouse hydroponic system. Trials to assess efficacy against Fusarium, Pythium, powdery mildew and gummy stem blight pathogens in greenhouse cucumber and pepper production were conducted at Alberta Research Council commercial-scale greenhouse facilities.. Three experiments were conducted to evaluate PKPB1 for Pythium control on cucumber. It was found that PKPB1 delayed development of Pythium root rot in the first two weeks after inoculation, showed similar effect at the end of six weeks after treatments were applied, indicating that PKPBI was as effective as a commercial product (Mycostop®) in suppression of root disease.. Two experiments were conducted on powdery mildew control on cucumber. Foliar application of PKPB1 spore suspension reduced the severity of powdery mildew on cucumber plants infected under natural conditions but the effect was not significant compare to ...

Discovered in North Carolina in 1994, Pythium root dysfunction attacks putting greens and is limited to newly constructed greens less than eight years old. It is most commonly found in the Southeast, but also occurs in Midwestern areas with harsh summers. Bentgrass is most susceptible to the disease, which occurs on turf stressed from one or more of the following factors: high heat, repeated close mowing, low fertility schedules and drought.. Pythium root dysfunction causes the roots and crown of turfgrass to turn brown or black. The symptoms are most visible during the summer, but the disease actually spreads during spring and fall, when it is cool and wet.. Because symptoms are less prevalent on plants with a strong root system, there are several cultural practices superintendents can undertake to minimize damage caused by Pythium root dysfunction. Root enhancement techniques - specifically aerification, nutrition supplements, verticutting and reduced irrigation - are helpful in counteracting ...

Fungus gnats are commonly found in practically all greenhouse crops (Howard et al 1994). Fungus gnats are an indicator of moist conditions in the greenhouse and populations generally grow to be quite large early in the year or whenever there is pooling of water on the greenhouse floor. Adult fungus gnats range from 2 to 3 millimetres in length, while the larvae are 4 to 5 millimetres long. The larvae of the fungus gnats are the damaging stage and feed on the roots. They are generally not a problem in greenhouse tomato and pepper, but can be a serious in cucumbers (Howard et al 1994), especially young plants. Affected plants develop slowly and may eventually collapse if too much of the root system has been damaged (Portree 1996). There is evidence that fungus gnat adults may transport root rot fungi such as Pythium sp. and Fusarium sp. from plant to plant, contributing to the spread of disease caused by these fungi (Howard et al 1994). Fungus gnats are often confused with shore flies, as both are ...

How do you know if your tree or shrub has a root or crown rot? Gardeners often become aware of a root/crown rot when they see above ground symptoms of the diseases. Affected plants are often slow-growing or stunted and may show signs of wilting. Often the canopy of an affected tree or shrub is thin, with foliage that is yellow or red, suggesting a nutrient deficiency. Careful examination of the roots/crowns of these plants reveals tissue that is soft and brown.. Where does root/crown rot come from? Several soil-borne fungi can cause root/crown rots, including (most frequently) Phytophthora spp., Pythium spp., Rhizoctonia solani, and Fusarium spp. These fungi have wide host ranges, and prefer wet soil conditions. Some root rot fungi such as Pythium and Phytophtora produce spores that can survive for long periods in soil.. How do I save a plant with root/crown rot? REDUCE SOIL MOISTURE! Provide enough water to fulfill a plants growth needs and prevent drought stress, but DO NOT over-water. Remove ...

The aim of the study was to assess Pseudomonas sp. for their plant growth and antagonistic activity against most probable fungal pathogens associated with apple and pear plants viz., Dematophora sp., Fusarium sp., Pythium sp. and Sclerotium sp. These isolates were phenotypically and biochemically characterized from the rhizosphere of normal and replant sites of apple and pear from different locations of two districts of H.P i.e. Chamba and Mandi. The isolates of Pseudomonas sp. were screened out for the direct and indirect plant growth promoting activities viz., siderophores, phosphate solubilizing, HCN, ammonia, lytic enzymes and plant growth regulators viz., auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins so as to screen potential strains to be further developed and used as inoculants for management of replant problem of apple and pear. Out of twenty nine Pseudomonas sp. isolates, seven isolates were selected on the basis of overall best PGPR

Damping-off is caused by fungus and it usually occurs in small patches at various places in the seedbeds or field. The disease spots often increase from day to day until the seedlings harden. Seedlings are extremely susceptible for about two weeks after emergence. As the stem hardens and increases in size, the injury no longer occurs. Some seedlings are not killed at once, but the roots are severely damaged and the stem is girdled at the ground level. Such plants remain stunted and often do not survive transplanting. The injury from damping-off fungi is of two types ...

The hypothesis that inborn errors of immunity underlie infectious diseases is gaining experimental support. However, the apparent modes of inheritance of predisposition or resistance differ considerably between diseases and between studies. A coherent genetic architecture of infectious diseases is lacking. We suggest here that life-threatening infectious diseases in childhood, occurring in the course of primary infection, result mostly from individually rare but collectively diverse single-gene variations of variable clinical penetrance, whereas the genetic component of predisposition to secondary or reactivation infections in adults is more complex. This model is consistent with (i) the high incidence of most infectious diseases in early childhood, followed by a steady decline, (ii) theoretical modelling of the impact of monogenic or polygenic predisposition on the incidence distribution of infectious diseases before reproductive age, (iii) available molecular evidence from both monogenic and ...

Vaccines have saved millions of lives worldwide and dramatically reduced the prevalence of many life-threatening infectious diseases. Yet there remains a need for new and improved vaccines against existing infectious diseases, as well as a need for rapid development of experimental vaccines to address emerging infectious diseases. NIAID supports and conducts research to identify new vaccine candidates to prevent a variety of infectious diseases, including those for which no vaccines currently exist. NIAID-supported research also aims to improve the safety and efficacy of existing vaccines.. ...

Casanova studies how human genes determine the clinical manifestations and outcome of primary infections by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. He searches for single-gene mutations that selectively compromise the immunity of otherwise healthy children and adults who are exquisitely vulnerable to specific infectious diseases, including the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). He thus characterizes the molecular, cellular, and immunological mechanisms of life-threatening infectious diseases. Casanovas laboratory aims to understand why some children and adults develop a life-threatening or lethal illness in the course of primary infection, while most people exposed to the same microbe remain unharmed. The team has a particular interest in so-called inborn errors of immunity, the genetic variations that affect a persons ability to fight off an infectious agent. Work in the lab has revealed that variations of this type can confer selective vulnerability to severe illness during primary infection. ...

The reality of vaccines is that they are a far greater risk to human health than benefit and always have been. In fact, two centuries of official death statistics show conclusively and scientifically that modern medicine is not responsible for and played little part in substantially improving life expectancy and survival from diseases in developed nations..

The components of the disease triangle (host, pathogen and environment) set the stage for disease development. One environmental component that is commonly accepted as an important factor in the onset of disease is nitrogen fertility. It is an either-or situation. Too high or too low in nitrogen fertility and you can set yourself up for a disease problem. Turfgrass becomes more susceptible to certain diseases such as brown patch or Pythium under high nitrogen fertility; conversly, turfgrasses also become more susceptible to other diseases, such as dollar spot or red thread, under low fertility.

A factor inhibiting the growth of sugarcane, Saccharum officinarum L., Hawaiian variety 37-1933, was evident in the soils of some fields of Ewa Plantation Company, Ltd., Hawaii, in which this variety had been cultivated continuously for 16 years. In a series of greenhouse pot tests involving two sugarcane varieties (37-1933 and 50-7209) this soil factor was characterized as biological, variety-specific, and pythiaceous. Pythium graminicola Subramaniam was associated with the inhibited growth of the sugarcane variety 37-1933, and was pathogenic toward this variety when evaluated according to Kochs Postulates. P. acanthicum Drechsler was associated with the field soils in which the growth of sugarcane variety 37-1933 was depressed, but not as a sugarcane root pathogen. P. acanthicum was very weakly pathogenic toward sugarcane when evaluated according to Kochs Postulates, but was strongly mycoparasitic in culture, attacking many soil fungi. P. graminicola inhibited growth of the sugarcane variety ...

Phytophthora and Pythium species are among the most aggressive plant pathogens, as they invade many economically important crops and forest trees. They secrete large amounts of 10 kDa proteins called elicitins that can act as elicitors of plant defence mechanisms. These proteins may also induce a hypersensitive response (HR) including plant cell necrosis, with different levels of toxicity depending on their pI. Recent studies showed that elicitins function as sterol carrier proteins. The crystallographic structure of the highly necrotic recombinant beta-cinnamomin (beta-CIN) from Phytophthora cinnamomi has been determined at 1.8 A resolution using the molecular-replacement method. beta-CIN has the same overall structure as beta-cryptogein (beta-CRY), an elicitin secreted by Phytophthora cryptogea, although it shows a different surface electrostatic potential distribution. The protein was expressed in Pichia pastoris and crystallized in the triclinic space group with two monomers in the ...

My personal highlights, however, were the samples of Pythium blight that arrived mid-week. Day and night temperatures above 85ºF and 70ºF, respectively, and relative humidity above 90% for at least 14 hours are generally required to get Pythium blight cranking. Dr. Phil Halisky used to tell me that we needed three consecutive days with relative humidities and temperatures above 150 for Pythium outbreaks to occur. Whichever way you slice it, we had those conditions almost every day last week and in came the Pythium samples.. ...

Signs of Pytophthora crown rot and stem canker are wilting, decline and plant death although a fairly healthy root system may be present.. Phytophthora like Pythium is a a lower fungus favored by excess moisture and excess nitrogen fertility. Unlike Pythium, species of Phytophthora are more aggressive, more likely to be host specific, and less frequently found in greenhouses. The most likely source of origin is plant material.. Start with soilless growing media and avoid contaminating media with soiled hands, tools, or containers. Promptly remove diseased plants, avoid splashing water when irrigating and keep hose ends off the floor. The best means for controlling Phytophthora is with drenches of systemic fungicides which will move up into the crown area such as mefenoxam (Subdue Maxx), foestyl-Al (Aliette) azoxystrobin (Heritage), or phosphonate-Al (ProPhyt). Check label for crop appropriateness. Rotate fungicides to prevent resistance development.. ...

The NTS head offices are situated in the midst of one of the worlds largest ginger producing regions, at Yandina in SE Qld, Australia. We have worked with ginger growers in the region for years, so I was particularly concerned to hear of a pest management crisis that has developed in recent months. Ginger growers have been so hard hit by a Pythium plague that it may even threaten the viability of the industry. The local processing plant is expecting to run out of ginger mid-season and the shortage will push up the price of planting the crop. If the cost of seed ginger rises to $5+ per kilo, the bill for seed ginger may as high as $30,000 per hectare. The standard chemical regime to control Pythium has been costly and largely ineffective, so many growers are looking to buy new land rather than risking that kind of investment to plant in diseased soil.. I was keen to look more closely at the root cause of this disease, so we called several growers and set up field visits. It soon became apparent ...

In 2009, one-time application of Trifloxystrobin WG on April 5 showed control efficacies of 57.7% and 63.4% in Suncheon and Gwangyang, respectively. However, two applications of the fungicide at a 10-day interval from April 5 showed control efficacies of 92.6% and 91.8% in Suncheon and Gwangyang, respectively, while three applications at a 10-day interval from April 5 led to 100% control of scabbing in both regions (Table 3).. In 2010, one application of Trifloxystrobin WG on April 15 led to control efficacies of 77.4% and 68.4% of Haeryong and Hwangjeon in Suncheon, while two applications at a 10-day interval led to control efficacies of 98.7% and 96.7%, respectively, and three applications at a 10-day interval starting April 15 led to 100% control in both regions (Table 4). The control efficacies showed similar tendencies in both years, with somewhat higher efficacy in 2010 than 2009, although overall incidence rates were higher in 2009 than 2010. Overall, these findings indicate that spraying ...

The nucleotide precursors of cell-wall mucopeptide were prepared by vancomycin inhibition of Corynebacterium insidiosum and Corynebacterium poinsettiae. The amino acid in the third position in the former peptide was shown by optical rotatory dispersion of the bisdinitrophenyl derivative to be l-diaminobutyric acid. Homoserine in the nucleotide from C. poinsettiae was catalytically oxidized to aspartic acid, which was then shown to be the l-isomer by optical rotatory dispersion of the trinitrophenyl compound. The sequence for C. insidiosum was UDP-N-acetylmuramyl-glycyl-isoglutamyl- (γ-acetyl)-diaminobutyryl-alanyl-alanine. The cell walls of C. insidiosum and Corynebacterium sepedonicum contained diaminobutyric acid that was optically inactive. It is proposed, therefore, that the primary peptide chain contains the l-isomer with its γ-amino group blocked by acetylation and that cross-linking is achieved by means of the d-isomer, analogous to d-ornithine in C. poinsettiae.. ...

Cover crops provide important water and soil quality benefits, but also require farmers to make additional management decisions. One of the choices that farmers have to make when using cover crops is when to kill the cover crop relative to the expected date of planting their next grain crop. The length of this interval between cover crop termination and planting of the next crop may influence how much the cover crop grows, as well as how the subsequent grain crop performs. We performed experiments to test the effects of various time intervals between cereal rye cover crop termination and corn planting on corn seedling disease, corn growth, and grain yield. Shorter intervals increased seedling disease, and reduced corn emergence, shoot growth, and grain yield of corn following the cover crop compared with corn planted 10 or more days after rye termination or without the cover crop. The proportion of roots infected with Pythium spp. increased with shorter intervals. We also measured the proportion ...

In areas where the disease is commonly observed, pythiosis occurs during the summer months especially after periods of high pluvial precipitation. It was noted that horses that had grazed for a period of time in stagnant water frequently developed pythiosis. However, cases of pythiosis in equines, dogs, and humans never exposed to stagnant water, indicated that the infection can also be acquired after contact with soil and grass containing resting structures of P. insidiosum (perhaps oogonia).

Asparagus season is just around the corner and now is a good time to review important diseases. With the long, wet spring weve encountered this year many fields have been extremely wet for long periods of time. These types of soil conditions are ideal for Phytophthora and Pythium development. To help reduce potential losses, especially in fields with low spots or fields that are poorly drained soils, or more importantly, in fields with a history of either disease apply Ridomil Gold 4SL (mefenoxam, 4) at 1.0 pt/A, or Ultra Flourish 2E/A (mefenoxam, 4) at 2.0 pt/A, or MetaStar 2E (metalaxyl, 4) at 2.0 qt/A over beds just before 1st harvest. For new plantings, apply the same after planting or after crown covering. Do not apply Ridomil or MetaStar one day prior to harvest or illegal residues may result. Purple spot, caused the soil-borne fungus, Stemphylium vesicarium, can cause problems in cool, wet springs as well. Symptoms, just like its name, include numerous, sunken oval-shaped spots on spears ...

The sooner you take your cat for treatment after the first signs appear, the better the prognosis.. All cats will need to undergo surgical removal of as much affected tissue as possible. The tissue remaining after surgery will then be treated with a laser (photoablation) to kill any fungal filaments in the surrounding tissue. Enlarged lymph nodes in the abdominal cavity should be biopsied (tissue will be surgically removed for examination). Medical therapy should be continued for a minimum of six months.. ...
