Coniochaeta Deborreae
The ''Coniochaeta'' are a genus of pleomorphism (microbiology), pleomorphic yeasts of the order ''Coniochaetales'' and are pathogens of trees. Some species have also been found to form Endophyte, endophytic associations within plants in which they live inside plant tissues but do not actually harm the organism. They can take the form of pink to brown colony (biology), colonies, hyphae, conidiophores or sclerotium, sclerotia. In 2013, the ''Lecythophora'' were merged with the ''Coniochaeta'', following suggestions by Ziauddin Khan ''et al''. Ecology The ''Coniochaeta'' have been described as typically associated with wood, water, and soil. However, there is also growing evidence of specialised associations between each species and specific environments, and a suggestion that 4-spored and 8-spored species interact differently with their environments, some species surviving Wildfire, forest fires, which activate their sexual cycle.''Coniochaeta extramundana'', with a Synopsis of Othe ...

Immunocompromised
Immunodeficiency, also known as immunocompromise, is a state in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious diseases and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. Most cases are acquired ("secondary") due to extrinsic factors that affect the patient's immune system. Examples of these extrinsic factors include HIV infection and environmental factors, such as nutrition. Immunocompromisation may also be due to genetic diseases/flaws such as SCID. In clinical settings, immunosuppression by some drugs, such as steroids, can either be an adverse effect or the intended purpose of the treatment. Examples of such use is in organ transplant surgery as an anti- rejection measure and in patients with an overactive immune system, as in autoimmune diseases. Some people are born with intrinsic defects in their immune system, or primary immunodeficiency. A person who has an immunodeficiency of any kind is said to be immunocompromised. An immunocompromised individual may part ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
