Such a pleasure to be part of this work, @thefunguskidd.bsky.social ! Honored to contribute to the discovery of Sporothrix davidiellisii and to help recognize the legacy of Dr. David Ellis. Exciting times for fungal taxonomy! 😍😍😍

Sporothrix davidellisii : A new pathogenic species belonging to the Sporothrix pallida complex Abstract. Sporothrix species (Ascomycota, Ophiostomatales) are dimorphic fungi with diverse ecological niches, ranging from mammalian, plant, and insect pa

A new 'second tier pathogenic' species within the Sporothrix pallida complex, isolated from an Australian cat. Sporothrix davidellisii, named for Australia's finest mycologist. Such a pleasure to work with @fhagen.bsky.social @amrodrigues85.bsky.social and others on this.

🔬 Genotyping Sporothrix during epidemics: Which method works best? Our study evaluates DNA sequencing, RAPD, AFLP, and SSR to track the spread of Sporothrix in outbreaks. While DNA sequencing and RAPD are useful for species identification, AFLP and SSR provide the highest resolution for fine-scale population studies. These findings guide molecular surveillance efforts in Sporothrix epidemiology. 📌 Key insights: ✅ AFLP & SSR: Best for detecting genetic diversity and subgroups ✅ DNA sequencing & RAPD: Limited intraspecific resolution Check out our full study in Fungal Biology!

Our latest study in Fungal Biology evaluates genotyping methods to track the spread of #Sporothrix during #outbreaks. We compare CAL seq, AFLP, SSR, and T3B-RAPD to guide molecular surveillance. @fhagen.bsky.social

Pathogens and planetary change - Nature Reviews Biodiversity This Review explores the relationship between emerging infectious diseases and biodiversity loss, and how both are connected to global environmental changes in the Anthropocene.

Climate change is creating the perfect conditions for the emergence of pathogenic fungi threatening humans and animals. 🌍🍄 What was once rare could become common—and that’s terrifying! We must act now.

Our review is out in Nature Reviews Genetics! rdcu.be/d5AY2

We show how phylogeny-based methods can resolve the problem of non-independence in genomic datasets.

These methods must be considered an essential part of the comparative genomics toolkit.
