Looking for the #OakWilt fungus, Bretziella fagacearum (aka Ceratocystis fagacearum) cultures for #popgen study. States in red: cultures received; states in yellow: no cultures yet. Cultures from any states are appreciated! Please RT! The American Phytopathological Society National Plant Diagnostic Network Mycological Society of America moved to bluesky Entomological Society of America

Please help my grad student build a comprehensive culture collection!

Our new manuscript focused on #ThousandCankersDisease alternative #vectors is out. We found 11 #beetle species to carry #fungal #pathogen #Geosmithia morbida. Congrats Karan Chahal, MS, PhD 🍄🌳🔬🧫🧬🧪🐞 on your first MS paper. Well done. #fungi #WalnutTwigBeetle #walnuts academic.oup.com/ee/article/48/…

Dr. Timothy Miles presenting his tenure talk! Tim, you rocked it as usual! Wish you a great future in science!

🌳🎆 July 4th weekend-time for outdoor fun! But it's also when oak wilt infections start appearing. Keep an eye on your oaks for wilt symptoms. Check the pictures below for what you might see! Send samples to diagnostic clinics for confirmation. #OakWilt #TreeHealth #4thofJuly

Great news to kick off the weekend! My/our (science is a team effort) paper on a complete #genome resource of the #oakwilt fungus, #Bretziellafagacearum, has been accepted in The American Phytopathological Society PhytoFrontiers, with minor revisions suggested! #nuclear #mitochondrial #chromosomes🧬🍄

My samples are ready to cross borders! 🇺🇸🇨🇦 In collaboration with Philippe Tanguay Natural Resources, we're using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect #Bretziellafagacearum (#oakwilt fungus) on insect vectors 🪲 & within host tissues 🌿. 🔬🐞🌳🍄 #Detection #ForestPathology

Excited to share that an article from my PhD is now available for The American Phytopathological Society PhytoFrontiers™ First Look! Thanks to all co-authors and Joint Genome Institute for the support. Check it out👇 A high-quality genome resource for the oak wilt pathogen Bretziella fagacearum apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PH…

🚨Oak Wilt Detection Made Easy🚨 Glad to hear how my research on a new #oakwilt sampling method is making life easier for homeowners, foresters, & diagnostic labs! Now you can just collect fallen leaves & send them to National Plant Diagnostic Network for diagnosis! 👇 Invasive Species Ctr canr.msu.edu/news/new-resea…

Happy to share new article from a #CollaborativeResearch with MSU Entomology's #ForestEntomology lab! We identified #InsectVectors of #OakWilt 🍄and mapped their seasonal activity in Michigan based on cumulative degree days.

Y’all. There’s a #runza in my future.
