The authors developed a new, simple, and reliable PCR/restriction fragment length polymorphism technique, using amplification of the hyphal wall protein 1 gene of Candida albicans and its gene homologue in Candida dubliniensis, to differentiate the two species of Candida. Performed with a new primer set, CRR-f/CRR-r, PCR produced two different fragments: one of 1,180 bp for C. albicans, and one of 930 bp for C. dubliniensis.

Saprolegniasis is one of the most dangerous fungal diseases of fish, causing significant mortality in fish hatcheries and young ones. The present study aimed to isolate and characterize the causative fungus from fingerlings of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus cultured intensively in freshwater cages in Indian reservoirs and to determine minimum inhibitory concentrations of different antifungal compounds against the fungal hyphae and zoospores. The fungal isolates grown on potato dextrose agar showed an abundance of gemmae, elongated mycelia, non-septate hyphae, primary zoospores, mature zoosporangia with numerous zoospores, cysts with bundles of long hairs and were further identified as Saprolegnia parasitica following PCR amplification and sequencing of internal transcribed spacer region.

- * Laboratory analysis of infected plant tissues revealed the presence of Sclerotinia sp., specifically S. minor, through morphological and DNA sequencing methods, confirming its identity with 99-100% match in genetic markers.
- * Pathogenicity tests using the S. minor isolate CS435 showed successful plant infection in a greenhouse setting, indicating the pathogen's significant impact on the health of Scabiosa crops.

Background And Purpose: In diabetic foot ulcers, if fungal agents, such as species penetrate the cutaneous or depth of the ulcer, it can increase the wound severity and make it more difficult to heal.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 100 diabetic patients with a foot ulcer from December 2019 to November 2020 in northern Iran. Patient data and wound grades were recorded in a questionnaire.

In October 2009, necrotic bark lesions at the root collar and lower stem associated with root rot, reduced growth, and wilting were observed on container-grown 2-year-old common sage ( L. 'Icterina') in two ornamental nurseries in Somogy and Zala counties in Hungary. The disease occurred at a frequency of 15-20% (100 to 150 symptomatic plants in each nursery).
