Efficacy of Single- and Multi-Site Fungicides Against spp. of Strawberry.

Recently, the Florida strawberry industry faced unprecedented outbreaks of an emerging disease caused by the fungus spp. Currently, there are no fungicides labeled to control this disease in the United States and the efficacy of single- and multisite fungicides is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the in vitro sensitivity of spp.

Sensitivity of Species Complex from Strawberry to Fungicide Alternatives to Quinone-Outside Inhibitors.

is a species complex that causes anthracnose fruit rot and root necrosis on strawberry. The major and minor species within the complex that affect strawberry production are and , respectively. The disease can significantly reduce yield under conducive weather, and its management has greatly relied on quinone-outside inhibitor fungicides (QoI).

Validation of a Decision Support System for Blueberry Anthracnose and Fungicide Sensitivity of Isolates.

Blueberry is an increasingly important crop in Florida. Anthracnose fruit rot (AFR), caused mostly by , is favored by long wetness periods and temperatures from 15 to 27°C. Currently, the model in the Strawberry Advisory System (StAS) guides fungicide applications targeting strawberry AFR.

Sensitivity of Isolates from Citrus to Carbendazim, Difenoconazole, Tebuconazole, and Trifloxystrobin.

Postbloom fruit drop (PFD) of citrus is caused by the and species complexes. The disease is important when frequent rainfall occurs during the flowering period of citrus trees. In Brazil, until 2012, PFD was mainly controlled by preventive applications of the methyl-benzimidazole carbamate (MBC) carbendazim and demethylation-inhibitor (DMI) fungicides such as difenoconazole.

Baseline Sensitivity of Isolates from Strawberry to Isofetamid Compared to other SDHIs.

Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) are the fungicides most commonly used to control Botrytis fruit rot on commercial strawberry in Florida. The medium-to-high risk of selection of resistance in the causal agent is a threat to the efficacy of this fungicide group. In this study, we characterized the sensitivity of to the SDHI isofetamid, evaluated the SdhB gene mutation associated with resistance, and monitored resistance frequencies to five SDHI fungicides for two consecutive seasons.

Fitness, Competitive Ability, and Mutation Stability of Isolates of Colletotrichum acutatum from Strawberry Resistant to QoI Fungicides.

Quinone-outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides are used to manage anthracnose of strawberry, caused by Colletotrichum acutatum. However, selection for resistance to QoI fungicides was first reported in 2013 in Florida and, subsequently, in strawberry nurseries and production areas across the United States and Canada. C.

A One-step Procedure by Using Linear Echoendoscope to Perform EUS-guided Choledochoduodenostomy and Duodenal Stenting in Patients with Irresectable Periampullary Cancer.

Objective: Endoscopic ultrasound-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CD) has become an alternative method after unsuccessful endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) treatment. We present a case series study and its feasibility by using only a linear therapeutic channel echoendoscope to create both a biliary-enteral fistula and anatomic enteral recanalization.

Methods: We presented seven cases of unresectable periampullary cancer with both biliary and duodenal obstruction.

A prospective randomized study comparing partially covered metal stent versus plastic multistent in the endoscopic management of patients with postoperative benign bile duct strictures: a follow-up above 5 years.

Background: Self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) are often used for biliary drainage due to obstruction of neoplastic etiology, with better results than plastic stents, but seldom for biliary drainage of benign etiology.

Objective: Primary end point: Verify bile duct patency after placement of self-expandable metal and (multiple) plastic stents in patients with benign strictures resulting from bile duct surgery with follow-up above five years. Secondary end point: Evaluate long-term complication rate in patients with metal self-expandable and plastic stents.
