Fusarium dry rot is a ubiquitous disease of potato affecting tubers in storage and at planting. A greater understanding of the current Fusarium species composition associated with Fusarium dry rot in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) will aid in refinement of current management strategies. In this study, the identity of 327 single-spore Fusarium isolates recovered from PNW tuber samples was confirmed using molecular phylogenetic analyses based on partial sequences of tef and pho loci.

The Stop the Bleed® Campaign emphasizes prehospital hemorrhage control to reduce preventable deaths; however, this course overlooks team interactions. We assessed the impact of high-fidelity simulation during medical student orientation on identification and treatment of life-threatening hemorrhage in a team setting.
