fusarium
fu·sar·i·um F0372500 (fyo͞o-zâr′ē-əm)n. pl. fu·sar·i·a (-ē-ə) Any of various pathogenic fungi of the genus Fusarium, chiefly inhabiting temperate climates and infecting both plants and animals. In humans, infection may cause inflammation of the cornea and external ear. [New Latin Fūsārium, genus name (coined by German naturalist Johann Heinrich Friedrich Link (1767-1851) in reference to the typical spindle shape of its conidia) : Latin fūsus, spindle (of unknown origin) + Latin -ārium, neuter of -ārius, adjective suffix.]fusarium (fjuːˈzɛərɪəm) n (Plants) any filamentous fungus of the genus Fusarium, some of which produce toxins which are harmful to plants, animals and humansfu•sar•i•um (fyuˈzɛər i əm) n., pl. -sar•i•a (-ˈzɛər i ə) any fungus of the genus Fusarium, occurring primarily in temperate regions and causing wilt in plants and a variety of diseases in animals. [< New Latin (1832) = Latin fūs(us) spindle + -ārium -ary] Fusarium
Fusarium[fyü′za·rē·əm] (mycology) A genus of fungi in the family Tuberculariaceae having sickle-shaped, multicelled conidia; includes many important plant pathogens. Fusarium a genus of fungi of the class Fungi Imperfecti. It includes nine sections, 26 species, and 29 races. The fungi reproduce asexually by means of conidia, which vary in form, size, structure, and method of formation. The oval or ovate microconidia are one-or two-celled and form both on conidiophores and directly on the short ramuli of the mycelium. The macroconidia, which are four-to seven-celled, are falciform or fusiform-falciform. They form on branched conidiophores that are frequently gathered into distinctive pulvini—bright orange, violet, or pink sporodochia. Fusaria are also capable of forming chlamydospores during a period of intensive mycelial growth. Several species bear their spores in perithecia. Most species are saprophytes that live in the soil on plant residues. There are many parasitic species that cause harmful plant diseases called fusarium wilts. Some species secrete toxic substances that are harmful to plants. The use of rye, wheat, barley, oats, and other plants contaminated by fusarial toxins leads to the development of alimentary-toxic aleukia in humans and fusariotoxicosis in animals. When proliferating, the mycelium of Fusarium aguaeductum, which is waterborne, can clog water pipes. M. A. LITVINOV Fusarium
Fusarium [fu-sa´re-um] a genus of fungi; some species are plant pathogens and some are opportunistic infectious agents of humans and other animals.Fusarium (fyū-sā'rē-ŭm), A genus of rapidly growing fungi producing characteristic sickle-shaped, multiseptate macroconidia that can be mistaken for those produced by some dermatophytes. Usually saprobic, a few species such as Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, and Fusarium moniliforme can produce corneal ulcers; some species may cause disseminated infection. [L. fusus, spindle] fusarium (fyo͞o-zâr′ē-əm)n. pl. fusar·ia (-ē-ə) Any of various pathogenic fungi of the genus Fusarium, chiefly inhabiting temperate climates and infecting both plants and animals.

A few species can produce corneal ulcers; some are common colonizers of burned skin, and some may cause disseminated hyalohyphomycosis. [L. fusus, spindle] |
