Species in this order are found almost exclusively in the tropics, primarily as a pathogen on the gymnosperm Podocarpus, although it has been found on other plants like the Southern Hemisphere beech Nothofagus, and Drimys.

The name Discula is ambiguous and also refers to a genus of fungi in the family Valsaceae to which belongs the plant pathogen dogwood anthracnose Discula destructiva.

Erwinia

Erwinia is a genus of Enterobacteriaceae bacteria containing mostly plant pathogenic species which was named for the famous phytobacteriologist, Erwin Frink Smith.

Fungemia

The most commonly known pathogen is Candida albicans, causing roughly 70% of fungemias, followed by Candida glabrata with 10%, Aspergillus with 1% and Saccharomyces as the fourth most common.

Geastrum fornicatum

Methanol extracts of G. fornicatum were shown to be inhibitory to the growth of various bacteria that are pathogenic to humans, including Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, and Streptococcus pyogenes, as well as the fungi Candida albicans, Rhodotorula rubra, and Kluyveromyces fragilis.

GenoMik

#The competence network Würzburg, "genome research on pathogenic bacteria", coordinated by Professor Werner Goebel.

Professor Gordon Dougan is Head of Pathogen Research and a member of the Board of Management at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (WTSI) in Cambridge, United Kingdom.

Hazard analysis and critical control points

In order to ensure that the food that would be sent to space was safe, Lachance imposed strict microbial requirements, including pathogen limits (including E. coli, Salmonella, and Clostridium botulinum).

History of emerging infectious diseases

Pre-existing theories of disease: Before a pathogen is well-recognized, scientists may attribute the symptoms of infection to other causes, such as toxicological, psychological, or genetic causes.

Hyaloperonospora parasitica

For instance, the taxonomically correct name of the parasite of the well-known model organism Arabidopsis thaliana is Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis, not H. parasitica, whereas the pathogen of Brassica has to be called Hyaloperonospora brassicae.

Jeffery Dangl

He, along with collaborator, Jonathan D. G. Jones, proposed the "zig-zag model" for the co-evolution of plant resistance genes and pathogen effectors.

Jonathan D. G. Jones

Jones, along with collaborator Jeffery Dangl, proposed the “zig-zag model” for the co-evolution of plant resistance genes and pathogen effectors.

Kevin's Law

Kevin's Law (as referred to in Representative Anna Eshoo's introduction of the law in 2005 and in the 2008 documentary Food, Inc.; formally known as the Meat and Poultry Pathogen Reduction and Enforcement Act of 2003) was proposed legislation that would have given the U.S. Department of Agriculture the power to close down plants that produce contaminated meat.

Lecanicillium lecanii

lecanii itself appears primarily to be a pathogen of soft scale insects (Coccidae).

Lycoperdon echinatum

Using a standard laboratory method to determine antimicrobial susceptibility, methanol-based extracts of Lycoperdon umbrinum fruit bodies were shown in a 2005 study to have "significant" antibacterial activity against various human pathogenic bacteria, including Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Mycobacterium smegmatis.

M. phyllostachydis

Mycosphaerella phyllostachydis, a plant pathogen fungus species of the genus Mycosphaerella

Monilia

Moniliophthora roreri, a pathogen of cocoa and other species in or related to the genus Theobroma

Nectriella pironii

Nectriella pironii is a plant pathogen, that parasitizes Aphelandra squarrosa, Clerodendron bungei, Codiaeum variegatum, Jussiaea peruviana, Leucophyllum frutescens, Pittosporum tobria, Plumbago capensis and Psychotria undata.

Onygenales

The Onygenales are important as emerging human pathogens because of the rising rates of immunosuppression due to live-organ transplant, HIV/AIDS, and autoimmune disorders such as Lupus erythematosus.

P. purpurea

Puccinia purpurea, a plant pathogen species that causes rust on sorghum

Phytophthora lateralis

Asiatic species of Chamaecyparis are generally described as resistant to P. lateralis, although this pathogen is occasionally isolated from Chamaecyparis obtusa (Siebold & Zucc.) Endl.

Port Norris, New Jersey

The oystering industry reached its peak in 1955, declining by 1957 due to oyster pathogen Haplosporidium nelsoni (MSX) which killed 90% of the oysters.

Puccinia jaceae var. solstitialis

solstitialis is the first pathogen approved by the United States Department of Agriculture as a classical biological control agent.

Ralstonia solanacearum

Bacterial wilts of tomato, pepper, eggplant and Irish potato caused by Ralstonia solanacearum were among the first diseases that Erwin Frink Smith proved to be caused by a bacterial pathogen.

Rhodococcus fascians

Because it commonly afflicts tobacco (Nicotiana) plants, it is an agriculturally significant pathogen.

Rosalind Franklin Award

2009 Sunetra Gupta on Surviving pandemics: a pathogen's perspective

Silent mutation

Steffen Mueller at the Stony Brook University designed a live virus vaccine for polio in which the pathogen was engineered to have synonymous codons replace naturally-occurring ones in the genome.

Smeg Virus Construction Kit

Messages within the two viruses Pile created with it, SMEG.Pathogen and SMEG.Queeg, suggest that it is also an allusion to the word smeg, used as a profanity by characters in the British TV series Red Dwarf.

Southeast Asian ovalocytosis

These changes are thought to give rise to the scientifically and clinically interesting phenomenon that those with SAO exhibit: a marked in vivo resistance to infection by the causative pathogen of malaria, Plasmodium falciparum.
