Erin Scheller - 23793699 Professor Steven Lindow & Cat Adams ESPM C192 16 November 2015 The Use of Fungal Viruses in the Control of Chestnut Blight: Addressing the Problem Chestnut Blight, caused by the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica, is responsible for the widespread death of Chestnut trees in North America occurring in the early twentieth century (1). Because of the detriment that this severe pathogen brought to American Chestnuts, researchers and environmentalists have sought ways to…

Opening: Skin hyperpigmentation can occur in many different forms and is the result of many factors. For example, aging spots appear with age or when the skin is exposed to excessive sunlight, fungus or bacteria in the direction of skin color changes. So which types of hyperpigmentation do you usually have? This article below will show you. Body: 1. Sun spots When the skin is exposed for a long time to the sun, you are at risk of age-related macular degeneration, or pigmented lesions. These are…

Once the daughters of Parris started the hysteria the paranoia only escalated quicker than expected due to the ergot fungus. The growth of the ergot fungus is contingent on damp, warm weather to proliferate and these were the appropriate conditions within Salem of 1691. Grain would be cultivated in the fall of 1691 and later eaten in the winter, when soon after the witchcraft accusations…

species called the golden frog. Then, when humans began migrating from region to region, the spread of a fungus called Chytrid began to take shape. As the fungus spread, the amphibian population began to dwindle. El Valle de Anton is important because it shows how a mass extinction can occur from the spread of a fungus, all because of human travel. It is important to stop the spread of this fungus to keep amphibians away from extinction. 2. A Uniformitarian thinks that a species can perish…

active men, or those simply prone to sweating profusely. The following provides information on jock itch along with the penis care steps required to keep it from recurring. What is Jock Itch? Jock itch is caused by the overgrowth of the tinea cruris fungus in a man's groin area. As with most fungi, tinea cruris is a big fan of moist, warm environments. That's why it commonly occurs in the groin folds of active, sweaty men. The rash may spread out from the groin folds to a man's thighs,…

If enough of the fungus is inhaled, those with no exposure can develop progressive disseminated histoplasmosis that can be acute, subacute, or chronic. The inhalation of mycelial Histoplasma starts in the lungs as the fungus converts into its yeast form. From there, the yeast will become systemic and spread out of the lungs to one or multiple organs. Subacute infections…

The infrared (IR) spectra of PVA nanofibers are shown in figure 3-a. According to this figure, polyvinyl alcohol FTIR spectrum has peaks at 1655 cm-1 relating to the bending band of (HOH) peaks in 2910 cm-1 and 2940 cm-1 related to the stretching bands of (CH2) and Peaks at 1710 cm-1 and 1573 cm-1 are related to the carbonyl group. Also, the peak in 1142 cm-1 indicating the presence of oxygen atoms, the band at 1097 cm-1 is assigned to (C-O) stretching vibration of the ether group and peaks at…

explaining how her brother’s passing away affected her. The language she uses to illustrate the theme of death is like that of a fungus, as it claims her family members and friends as its victims. In part, the definition is that fungi are spore-producing organisms that feed on organic matter. As such, racism, poverty, drug addiction, and alcoholism feed and killed (like fungus) on many people that she knew. Similarly, over one hundred-years before Ward, her family, friends, and those of her…

with high-phosphorus fertilizer that has a low-nitrogen content. Prevent soil conditions that allow the fungus to thrive. Since maple wilt starts in the soil, if you are not able to prevent it, you need to treat the soil to get rid of maple wilt. A process called solarization, which involves heating up the top layer of soil around your maple tree, is a popular treatment method. It kills the fungus in the ground that is harming your maple trees. If your tree is beyond saving, a tree…
