“…The phylogenetic tree inferred from maximum likelihood (Figure 3) showed our isolate within a monophyletic clade (BPP 0.99/ BT 93%) comprising mostly of waterborne species, i.e., E. opportunistica, E. lacus, E. cancerae, E. psychrophila, E. salmonis, E. aquamarina, E. pisciphila (7) and other species originally isolated from non-aquatic sources, i.e., E. bonariae (22) and E. equina (7). Within the clade, it is closest to E. cancerae with high support (BPP 1.00 / BT 86%).…”

A Novel Exophiala Species Associated With Disseminated Granulomatous Inflammation in a Captive Eastern Hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis)

et al. 2020

The genus Exophiala is composed of ubiquitous, pigmented, saprotrophic fungi and includes both terrestrial and waterborne species. Though Exophiala species are generally considered opportunistic pathogens, exophialosis can be an important cause of morbidity and mortality in aquatic and semi-aquatic species. Over a 6-year period, a captive 32-year-old male eastern hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis), was treated for recurring, slow growing, ventral midline cutaneous masses. Excisional biopsies were characterized histologically by granulomatous dermatitis with low numbers of intralesional, pigmented fungal conidia and hyphae. Bacterial and fungal cultures of the masses and skin were negative on two separate submissions. Polymerase chain reaction amplification of a short fragment of the fungal 28S large subunit (LSU) ribosomal RNA was positive with 100% nucleotide sequence identity to several species of Exophiala. Following recurrence after successive rounds of antifungal therapy, euthanasia was elected. At necropsy, similar dermal granulomatous inflammation and intralesional pigmented fungal elements as observed in excisional biopsies formed a thick band in the dermis and extended through the coelomic body wall. Visceral dissemination was noted in the lung and kidney. Postmortem DNA sequence analysis of a large portion of the fungal LSU as well as the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) from a portion of frozen affected dermis identified the fungus as a novel species, Exophiala sp. 1 (UTHSCSA R-5437).

“…Recently, a taxonomic key for the genus Caliciopsis has been presented (Garrido-Benavent and Perez-Ortega 2015). Caliciopsis nigra [now recombined to Hypsotheca nigra (Crous et al 2019)] is the causal agent of cankers on stems of the Mediterranean cypress, Cupressus sempervirens and common juniper, Juniperus communis (Intini 1980) and C. indica is a pathogen on Garcinia indica leaves (Pratibha et al 2010). Caliciopsis arceuthobii infects the flowers of several species of dwarf mistletoe in the genus Arceuthobium (Ramsfield et al 2009), Caliciopsis rhoina is associated with bark and trunk cankers on Toona sinensis (Rikkinen 2000), while Caliciopsis brevipes was reported on needles and bark of Araucaria araucana and C. cochlearia on needles and twigs of A. araucana, Fitzroya cupressoides, Austrocedrus chilensis, Pilgerodendron uviferum and Podocarpus nubigenus (Butin 1970).…”

More recently, Caliciopsis pleomorpha [now recombined in Hypsotheca as H. pleomorpha (Crous et al 2019)] has been reported as the causal agent of a canker disease on various Eucalyptus species in Australia (Pascoe et al 2018).…”

Caliciopsis moriondi, a new species for a fungus long confused with the pine pathogen C. pinea

The genus Caliciopsis (Eurotiomycetes, Coryneliales) includes saprobic and plant pathogenic species. Caliciopsis canker is caused by Caliciopsis pinea Peck, a species first reported in the 19th century in North America. In recent years, increasing numbers of outbreaks of Caliciopsis canker have been reported on different Pinus spp. in the eastern USA. In Europe, the disease has only occasionally been reported causing cankers, mostly on Pinus radiata in stressed plantations. The aim of this study was to clarify the taxonomy of Caliciopsis specimens collected from infected Pinus spp. in Europe and North America using an integrative approach, combining morphology and phylogenetic analyses of three loci. The pathogenicity of the fungus was also considered. Two distinct groups were evident, based on morphology and multilocus phylogenetic analyses. These represent the known pathogen Caliciopsis pinea that occurs in North America and a morphologically similar, but phylogenetically distinct, species described here as Caliciopsis moriondisp. nov., found in Europe and at least one location in eastern North America. Caliciopsis moriondi differs from C. pinea in various morphological features including the length of the ascomata, as well as their distribution on the stromata.
