Nonpathogenic Free-Living Amoebae In Arkansas Recreational Waters, Leon W. Bone, David A. Becker
Nonpathogenic Free-Living Amoebae In Arkansas Recreational Waters, Leon W. Bone, David A. Becker
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
Selected recreational waters of Arkansas were sampled for pathogenic free-living limax amoebae. Water quality parameters were determined for correlation with amoebic population densities and species diversity. Cultural criteria and animal inoculation revealed no pathogenic strains. The possibility of introduction and/or induction of pathogenic amoebic strains by environmental factors requires further ecological investigations.
Phomopsis : The Causal Fungus Of Lupinosis, P Mcr Wood, A. G. P. Brown
Phomopsis : The Causal Fungus Of Lupinosis, P Mcr Wood, A. G. P. Brown
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
It is now well known that lupinosis of sheep and cattle follows ingestion of lupin stubble colonised by the fungus Phomopsis rossiana. The fungus infects green lupins but persists on the stubble and under certain conditions apparently produces a toxin which causes the disease.
As Phomopsis is now widespread on lupins in Western Australia its ecology has been studied in detail as a basis for possible control measures.
This article outlines what is known so far of the disease and its control.
