Phaeoacremonium parasiticum is an unusual cause of human fungal infection that was first reported in 1974. Since the initial description, only a small number of cases have been reported in the world literature. We report on the clinical and imaging findings of Phaeoacremonium parasiticum myositis in a renal transplant recipient. To our understanding, this is a first case report of Phaeoacremonium parasiticum myositis that includes imaging findings.

A recent olive trunk disease survey performed in the Western Cape Province, South Africa, identified several fungi associated with olive trunk disease symptoms, including species of Basidiomycota, Botryosphaeriaceae, Coniochaetaceae, Calosphaeriaceae, Diaporthaceae, Diatrypaceae, Phaeomoniellaceae, Phaeosphaeriaceae, Symbiotaphrinaceae, Togniniaceae, and Valsaceae. Many of the species recovered had not yet been reported from olive trees; therefore, the aim of this study was to determine their pathogenicity toward this host. Pathogenicity tests were first conducted on detached shoots to select virulent isolates, which were then used in field trials.

A field survey conducted on asymptomatic grapevine propagation material from nurseries and symptomatic young grapevines throughout different regions of Algeria yielded a collection of 70 -like isolates and three -like isolates. Based on morphology and DNA sequence data of β-tubulin () and actin, five species were identified including (22 isolates), (19 isolates), (17 isolates), (8 isolates), and (4 isolates). The latter two species ( and ) were reported for the first time in Algeria.

Survey of Trunk Pathogens in South African Olive Nurseries.

Plant Dis

June 2021

Plant Protection Division, ARC Infruitec-Nietvoorbij, Stellenbosch 7599, South Africa.

Several fungal trunk pathogens are associated with olive trunk diseases in South Africa. Little is known regarding the inoculum sources of these pathogens in the olive industry, and no specific management strategies are in place. The aim of this study was to investigate the status of olive nurseries in South Africa, with regard to the presence of trunk pathogens in olive plant material, to determine whether nursery material can be considered inoculum sources contributing to long-distance dispersal of these pathogens.
