RESUMO
The Asian rust (Phakopsorapachyrhizi) is one of the most destructive diseases of soybean in Brazil. Despite its importance, little is known about the airborne inoculum production dynamics of pathogen throughout the soybean cycle in Brazil. The objective of this study was to assess the temporal variation of air collected P. pachyrhizi urediniospores using a Burkard 7-day-spore-trap during 2006-2007 and 2007-2008, from November to March of each soybean (MSoy-8001) growing season. The disease severity wasquantified on soybean planted in October 18, 2006 and in October 30, 2007. From November/06 through March/07 were collected over 175,000 urediniospores, and, over 131,000 from November/07 to March/08. In 06-07, most of the spores were collected from January 9, 2007 through February 1st, 2007 (±3,000 urediniospores day-1), and, in 07-08 most urediniospores was collected from February 8, 2008 throughout March 2, 2008 (±2,000 urediniospores day-1). The maximum amount of urediniospores collected in a single day in 06-07 (±15,000; 1/25/2007) was higher than in 07-08 (±12,000; 2/13/2008). In both soybean growing seasons most of the hourly urediniospores was collected from 10:00 am through 6:00 pm and the highest number from December to March, was at 3:00 pm (±16,000 in 06-07 and ±14,000 in 07-08). The disease started earlier in 2006-07 [38 days after planting (DAP)] than in 07-08 (58 DAP). The amount of collected airborne spores was positively correlated to disease severity, leaf wetness, and, precipitation along both soybean growing seasons. However, during a 24h-day evaluation, the major amount of hourly collected spores was negatively correlated to the leaf wetness and air relative humidity.
A ferrugem asiática (Phakopsorapachyrhizi) é uma das doenças mais destrutivas de soja no Brasil. Apesar de sua importância, pouco é conhecido sobre a dinâmica de distribuição de inóculo no ar do patógeno em todo o ciclo da soja no Brasil. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a variação temporal deurediniósporos de P. pachyrhizi coletados do ar com uma armadilha de esporos Burkard de 7 dias de captura em 2006-2007 e 2007-2008, durante o cultivo da soja (cv. MSoy-8001) entre novembro e março. A severidade da doença foi quantificada em soja plantada em 18 de outubro de 2006 e em 30 de outubro de 2007. De novembro/06 até março/07 foram coletados mais de 175.000 urediniósporos, e, mais de 131.000 de novembro/07 a março/08. Em 06 / 07, a maioria dos esporos foram coletada de 9 de janeiro de 2007 a 1º. de fevereiro de 2007 (± 3.000 urediniósporos dia-1), e, em 07-08 a maioria dos urediniósporos foi coletada entre 8 de fevereiro de 2008 e 2 de março de 2008 (±2,000 uredosporo dia-1). A quantidade máxima de urediniósporos coletados em um único dia em 06-07 (±15,000; 25/1/2007) foi superior a 07-08 (±12,000; 13/2/2008). Em ambas as safras de soja a maioria dos urediniósporos em cada hora foi coletado entre 10:00 e 18:00 de dezembro a março e o maior número foi às 15:00 (±16,000 em 06-07 e ±14,000 em 07-08). A doença inicioumais cedo em 2006-07 [38 dias após o plantio (DAP)] do que em 07-08 (58 DAP). A quantidade de esporos no ar coletados correlacionou-se positivamente a severidade da doença, umidade foliar, e precipitação ao longo de ambos os ciclos de soja. No entanto, durante a avaliação diária, a quantidade de esporos coletados por hora foi negativamente correlacionada com umidade foliar e a umidade relativa do ar.

Aspergillus fumigatus, an opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes invasive aspergillosis in immunosuppressed patients, is considered to be the world's most dangerous mould. It is widely distributed in the environment, and airborne asexual conidia serve as the main mode of transport for pulmonary lung infection. It is important to monitor seasonal airborne conidia levels when assessing the risk of acquiring this infection. In this study, air was sampled for total viable fungal spores and viable A. fumigatus conidia monthly over a 2-year period (2009 and 2010) close to Manchester, UK, city center. Total viable airborne fungal counts varied seasonally, peaking in the summer and autumn for both years and reaching levels of approximately 1100-1400 colony-forming units (CFU)/m(3); counts were strongly positively correlated to mean temperature (R(2) = 0.697). By contrast, A. fumigatus viable airborne counts were not seasonally associated; persistent low levels were between 3 and 20 CFU/m(3) and were not correlated with mean temperature (R(2) = 0.018). A total of 220 isolates of A. fumigatus were recovered on potato dextrose agar (PDA) at 45°C, and internal transcribed spacer sequencing and restriction digestion of a partial polymerase chain reaction amplicon of the ß-tubulin gene (benA) of 34 randomly selected isolates were used to confirm the isolates as A. fumigatus. When the colony radial growth rates (Kr) were determined, the highest rates were observed on PDA, followed by Vogel's medium supplemented with phosphatidylcholine and Vogel's medium alone. Clinical isolates had a significantly higher mean colony Kr on PDA compared with environmental isolates.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi estabelecer relações entre condições ambientais, o número de urediniósporos de Phakopsora pachyrhizi e a severidade da ferrugem-asiática-da-soja. Para quantificar urediniósporos de P. pachyrhizi, coletores foram instalados em campos de soja, em Itambé e Mandaguari, PR. Avaliações de severidade foram realizadas e dados climáticos foram coletados nos dois locais. As variáveis elaboradas foram: número de dias com umidade favorável (>60%), número de dias com temperatura favorável (18 a 32º C), preciptação acumulada e urediniósporos coletados. Uma variável baseada no controle químico também foi elaborada. Correlações entre as variáveis foram estimadas. A análise de trilha foi empregada para desdobrar as correlações. Cerca de 76% da variação das relações de causa e efeito entre as variáveis foi explicada pela análise de trilha. O número de dias para efetuar o controle químico teve efeito direto sob a severidade. O número de dias com temperatura favorável e as precipitações tiveram efeito indireto na severidade, atuando via manutenção de condições favoráveis de umidade.
The objective of this work was to study the relationships among environmental conditions, airborne urediniospores of P. pachyrhizi and the Asian soybean rust (ASR) severity. To quantify airbone urediniospores, collectors were installed in soybean fields in Itambé and Mandaguari, PR. Severity assessments were conducted and climatic data were collected in the two locations. The variables elaborated were: number of days with favorable humidity (<60%), number of days with favorable temperature (18-32ºC), rainfall accumulated and urediniospores collected. A variable based on the chemical control was also created. Correlations between variables were estimated. Path analysis was performed for correlations. Path analysis explained about 76% of the relations of cause and effect among the variables. Number of days to the chemical control had direct effect on severity. Number of days with favorable temperature and rainfall had indirect effect on severity. This two variables provided favorable humidity conditions for ASR development.

Conidia of Podosphaera clandestina were trapped beginning about 1 month after bud burst and continuing through the majority of the fruit development period and beyond. The presence of airborne conidia generally followed a diurnal pattern, with peak concentrations occurring in late morning to early afternoon. The three general spore dispersal patterns described by Sutton and Jones for P. leucotricha were observed: diurnal dispersal with concentrations peaking about midday (type I dispersal); random dispersal in which the spore concentrations were not correlated with any measured meteorological parameter (type II dispersal); and dispersal associated with the onset of rain (type III dispersal). Positive correlations with wind speed and temperature, and negative correlations with relative humidity, were characteristic of days when spore dispersal was diurnal. Consistent correlations with meteorological parameters were not detected on days with random or rain-onset dispersal. The latent period of P. clandestina on cherry foliage was found to be shortest at 20 to 25°C and was influenced by temperature and incubation time.
