Often referred to as "water rot," pink rot is caused by the soilborne fungus Phytophthora erythroseptica. The disease is generally associated with a combination of saturated soil and high soil temperatures. The pathogen enters the tuber from infected stolons, but in saturated soil, it may enter through enlarged lenticels or from wounds occurring during harvest. The disease advances through the tuber leaving a distinct dark line as it progresses.

Armies of eager celebrities were marshalled, trotting down catwalks and posing for posters. The glitterati have hobnobbed at charity balls. Magazines have launched "pink issues" devoted to the theme, and supermarkets showcased their caring, sharing natures by flogging specially commissioned pink products. Breast cancer gets huge amounts of publicity because the campaign is well-organised and awash with celebrities, providing newspapers with a great excuse to print photos of lithe young women wearing promotional T-shirts. And it also has the advantage of not being a disease associated with povertyin fact, it affects people from higher-income backgrounds more than the poor. It's not hard to see why, say, bowel cancer or boring old heart disease fail to match its media profile.

The Freedom of Information Center Toxic Tipping Point. Once government regulators and pharmaceutical companies knew that mercury in childhood vaccines might be responsible for an epidemic of autism, did they publicize their data and mount a recall? No. They were more concerned with protecting the national vaccine programand shielding themselves from liability. By Andrea Rock Mother Jones March/April 2004 IN AUGUST OF 2001, Rita Shreffler of Nixa, Missouri, sent her son's baby tooth to a lab. A year earlier, nine-year-old Andy had been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism, and Shreffler had just read a report in the journal Medical Hypotheses suggesting that such neurological disorders might be the result of mercury poisoning associated with an additive in children's vaccines. "Wayne asked me how on earth Andy could have been exposed to so much mercury," recalls Shreffler. "When I explained that a vaccine preservative called thimerosal had exposed babies to excessive levels of mercury, he said that couldn't be true because he used to work for a lab that made animal vaccines, and thimerosal had been discontinued in vaccines for cattle back in the early 1990s. He was sure it wouldn't be allowed in children's vaccines." He was wrong.

84. Turf Diseases: Snow Molds Characteristic pink snow mold symptoms on turfgrass and closeup of mycelium disease Cycle. Snow mold fungi remain inactive during the warm months when http://www.uri.edu/ce/factsheets/sheets/snowmolds.html

Symptoms: Damage from snow mold fungi usually becomes apparent as the snow melts and exposes the grass in late winter. Snow mold symptoms consist of roughly circular patches (at least 3 to 12 inches) of dead and matted grass blades. In severe cases, these patches coalesce and may not be recognizable as individual circles. Just after snow melt and while the grass remains moist, it may be possible to differentiate between the two common types of snow mold found in New England by their color. The web-like mycelium of pink snow mold (Microdochium nivale) may initially look white and mature to a faint pink to salmon color. Gray snow mold ( Typhula spp.) is white to gray in color. The mycelium of both types of fungi will disappear quickly as the grass dries. A useful identifying characteristic of gray snow mold is the presence of tiny brown to black mycelial masses (sclerotia) on the blades and in the leaf sheaths of infected plants. These survival structures vary in size and color, becoming smaller and darker as they dry. The pink snow mold fungus does not produce sclerotia. It is useful to determine whether the disease is pink or gray snow mold because gray snow mold rarely damages more than the blades of the grass. Lawns with gray snow mold can be expected to recover fairly quickly even when damage appears extensive. Pink snow mold, in contrast, may invade the crowns and roots causing more serious injury. It is not unusual for both types of snow mold to be found in the same area. All common lawn grasses may be infected, but Kentucky bluegrass-fescue lawns are the least susceptible to severe damage.

Play for P.I.N.K.'s Season Is In Full Swing! The 2005 Play for P.I.N.K. season began in Florida with a record number of participants and that momentum has continued throughout the other states. PFP Once again, all of the hard work of everyone involved with PFP is greatly appreciated. The results of your dedication make it possible to fund five of the best researchers in the breast cancer field at leading medical centers in the United States. Meet Philip O. Livingston, MD and Theresa Gilewski, MD - Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY q. How did you first become involved with Play for P.I.N.K.? a. Through The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. q. What has your Play for P.I.N.K. grant allowed you to research so far, and what results have you discovered? a. We have in the past conducted a series of trials in patients with breast cancer using vaccines containing single antigens (targets). With some of the antigens as many as three or four trials were required before the optimal formulation and dose were determined. Now each one of the optimized seven antigen vaccines are known to individually induce antibodies against breast cancer cells in the majority of vaccinated patients. Our goal has been to combine these in a single vaccine aimed at preventing breast cancer recurrence in patients who are at high risk after treatment of their breast cancer (patients with a large primary or positive lymph nodes). The Play for P.I.N.K. grant is supporting the construction of this polyvalent vaccine for a trial that we hope to initiate over the current funding year.

FUNGAL DISEASES: LEAVES AND STEMS (A-R) ANTHRACNOSE Scientific name: Colletotricum spp. Hosts: Sorghum and rye are the most important hosts, but barley, oats, corn, wheat, and about 20 genera of temperate climate grasses also are susceptible (1). Symptoms: Lesions (elliptical in shape and 1-2 cm long) occur above and below ground. In early stages, lesions are water-soaked; later they become bleached and necrotic . Lesions normally are confined to the lower stem and acervuli generally do not develop until the plant matures (1). Look-alike symptoms: Lesions resemble those of eyespot and sharp eyespot until dark acervuli appear in them (1). Lab diagnosis: Acervuli contain diagnostic, dark spines visible under low magnification. Colonies on potato dextrose agar (PDA) are gray and felt-like. Conidia and appressoria are numerous when cultures are well aerated and sclerotia sometimes form. Appressoria are diagnostic, tawny-brown, prominent and terminal on thickened hyphae . They assume irregular shapes, average 11.2x15.6 um and have a single germ pore Favorable conditions: Continuously-cropped wheat, alkaline soil, and the presence of alternative grassy hosts promote build-up of inoculum. Wet weather favors infection. Optimum conditions for infections include presence of susceptible cultivars, 25 C, and free moisture (1).

Pink Rot - Other documents in this section - Pink Rot Trevor Wicks and Robin Harding Pink rot is a soil borne disease of potatoes that was once rare in South Australia but is now found in most potato growing areas of the State as well as in Tasmania and Victoria. The disease appears to be spreading and is a serious problem particularly in the lower South East where yield losses of 30% have been reported on some properties. Further losses may occur in storage due to secondary bacterial infections. Cause This disease is caused by the soil borne fungus Phytophthora erythroseptica but other species of Phytophthora may also be involved. Symptoms This disease is named because the portion of a tuber attacked by Phytophthora turns pink and eventually black when the infected tuber is cut open and exposed to the air for at least 30 minutes. Another distinguishing feature of this disease is the development of a black line that usually delineates health and diseased tuber tissue and is obvious once adhering soil is washed or brushed from infected tubers. Initially infected tubers are spongy and rubbery but break down in storage occurs due to the development of secondary soft rot bacteria.

90. Pink Rot Images This disease can be found in the field before harvest and is although the disease cycle for late blight is much different that either pink rot or leak. http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/instruct/gudmesta/lateblight/image1.html

Pink Rot and Leak (Water Rots) Neil C. Gudmestad, Gary A. Secor and Bacilio Salas Department of Plant Pathology North Dakota State University Water rots of potato are a problem that many growers deal with to some degree every year. Tubers that have water rot appear discolored and may have a waterlogged appearance that will often be dotted with white tufts of fungal growth. There are actually two different types of water rot, pink rot and Pythium leak, each caused by a different fungus. PINK ROT Probably the most prevalent of the two water rots is pink rot caused by the soil-borne fungus Phytophthora erythroseptica . This disease can be found in the field before harvest and is characterized by rotted tuber tissues that turn pink after exposure to air for 20 to 30 minutes. Another important diagnostic trait for pink rot is that the rot will usually appear to start from the stem end of the tuber and will then progress through the tuber in a very uniform manner, often with a nearly straight line between the healthy and the diseased portions of the tuber. Pure pink rot is not a slimy soft rot, but infected tissues are easily, and often invaded by soft rot bacteria which will cause this symptom. In a tuber that is infected with the pink rot fungus alone, the rotted tissues will retain some structure and firmness but not nearly as much as the healthy portions of the tuber. The texture of the infected tuber tissue is much like that of a boiled potato. We refer to this as a "cooked potato" texture. Another feature of pink rot is the characteristic smell of ammonia that is given off by pink rot infected tubers. This odor can frequently be defected in potato storages prior to the development of visual symptoms.

Dowley Crops Research Centre, Oak Park, Carlow ISBN 1 901138 73 9 September 1998 This report is also available in the printer-friendly Adobe Acrobat PDF (29 KB) format. Summary Rotting of tubers was reported in early potato crops in Co. Wexford in 1995. Geotrichum candidum , which causes a condition known as rubbery rot, was isolated from a sample of affected tubers. In further investigations in 1996 both G. candidum and Phytophthora erythroseptica , the cause of pink rot, were isolated from diseased tubers. In pathogenicity tests P. erythroseptica re-infected tubers while G. candidum did not. It was concluded that the disease was pink rot. In 1997 foliar applications of the systemic fungicide metalaxyl were evaluated for its control. The level of control obtained was insufficient to overcome the problem which pink rot can cause in early potatoes. Introduction There were widespread reports of soft rotting of potato tubers in first and second early crops in Co. Wexford in 1995. An investigation of some crops in late July showed that the problem was not soft rot but a condition similar to pink rot caused by Phytophthora erythroseptica . This disease was first described in Ireland by Pethybridge (1913) and was subsequently reported in several other countries (Stamps, 1978). The affected tubers, while soft and spongy, remained intact. The exposed surfaces of cut tubers turned pink and subsequently black. In a preliminary study

Citation Originator: Red Sea Marine Peace Park (RSMPP) Originator: The Interuniversity Institute of Eilat (IUI) Originator: National Institute of Oceanography Title: The pink-blue disease in Acropora sp. Description Abstract: In the last few years a phenomenon we called "pink-blue disease" has been observed mostly on the corals Acropora sp. and Porites sp. along the Israeli coasts of the Gulf of Eilat and along the cost of Sinai. This phenomenon is not related to the pink-blue pigmentation normally occurring in the growing margins of Acroporid colonies. The pink-blue disease is characterized by irregularly-shaped patches of pink- blue pigmented tissue frequently forming a margin around mechanically demaged parts of the colonies or at contact-edges with other organisms. Less frequently pink-blue tissue is located at the basal disc or in apparently healthy portions of the colonies. Our preliminary studies were focused on the species Acropora sp. that showed high frequencies of pink-blue diseases in front of the Marine Laboratory at Eilat. Preliminary

What infections cause pink eye and how are they treated? What noninfectious conditions cause pink eye? Pink Eye At A Glance What is "pink eye"? Pink eye or conjunctivitis refers to a redness or irritation of the membranes on the inner part of the eyelids and the membranes (conjuctiva) covering the whites of the eyes. These membranes react to a wide range of bacteria, viruses, allergy- provoking agents, irritants, and toxic agents, as well as to underlying diseases within the body. Viral and bacterial forms of conjunctivitis are common in childhood. Overall however, there are many causes of pink eye. These can be classified as either infectious or noninfectious. What infections cause pink eye and how are they treated? Viral Pink Eye The leading cause of a red eye is virus infection. Viral pink eye is usually associated with more of a watery discharge, not green or yellow in color, and is frequently associated with viral "cold-like" symptoms. The eyelids may be swollen. Sometimes looking at bright lights is painful. While viral pink eye, may not require an antibiotic, the doctor should see the child, as occasionally this form of pink eye can be associated with infection of the cornea, (the clear portion of the front of the eyeball). This infection must be correctly detected and treated. Viral pink eye is highly contagious.

@import "/styles/coopext_adv.css"; no. 2.940 Soil-Borne Diseases of Onion by H. F. Schwartz Quick Facts... Figure 1: Smut lesions on leaf and stem tissues. Figure 2: Pink root symptoms. Common soil-borne diseases of onion in this region are seedling damping-off, pink root and fusarium basal rot. Other soil-borne organisms include nematodes, smut and insects. Damping-off, fusarium basal rot and pink root are favored by moderate to high soil temperature, frequent cropping to onions, soil compaction, poor drainage, cultivation wounds and low soil fertility. The pathogens involved survive for years in infected debris and infested soil. Colorado is a major producer of onions. Approximately 12,000 to 14,000 acres are planted annually on the Western Slope, in the Arkansas Valley and throughout northeastern Colorado. Yields often average 350 to 400 hundredweight per acre unless constraints, such as soil-borne diseases, become widespread and serious enough to limit production. Plant survival, bulb size and quality can be reduced and thereby affect crop productivity (up to 60 percent yield loss recorded) and profitability. Soil-borne disease problems of seeded and transplanted onions include: damping-off, pink root, fusarium basal or plate rot, bloat or stem and bulb nematode, and smut. Pathogen Survival Soil-borne fungal pathogens and nematodes can persist for many years in previously infected onions or other host debris and infested soil by producing overwintering structures or entering resting phases. These structures may be thick-walled spores (

In Illinois, this disease is of chief concern when it attacks the grass blades and leaf sheaths of fine-leaf fescues (red and chewings), Kentucky and annual bluegrasses, perennial ryegrass, and bentgrasses during cool, damp weather in the spring and fall. Fine-leaved fescues and perennial ryegrasses are very susceptible. Velvet bentgrass cultivars are more susceptible than colonial and creeping bents. Other grasses that are sus- ceptible include bermudagrass, redtop, sheep fescue, tall fescue, hard fescue, velvetgrass, zoysiagrasses, and quackgrass. Although red thread rarely kills turfgrass plants outright, it does weaken them and contributes to their decline and death from subsequent stress diseases.
