Interesting mixed infections of toenails. 1. Trichophyton rubrum, ubiquitous athlete’s foot fungus, + Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, tropical foot skin & nail infecter. 2. T. rubrum + Acremonium egyptiacum from toenail flake; latter causes superficial white onychomycosis. Needs 2nd sample confirmation.
Dark mould Neoscytalidium dimidiatum on Littman agar and Leonian’s agar. Red-reversed dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum on BCPMSG medium and Sabouraud CCG agar. Trichophyton rubrum on left; Acremonium egyptiacum on right, both growing from same toenail inoculum flake (not visible) on Sabouraud CCG isolation medium in glass test tube. Same as previous; different angle showing red xanthomegnin pigment of T. rubrum. Same as previous; different angle showing orange carotenoid (?) pigments of Acremonium egyptiacum.

Shameless brag, but I finished my final project for my GIS class. I created a map of most likely areas where the Screwbean Mesquite will be most likely impacted by the Pathogenic Fungus Neoscytalidium dimidiatum. Could it be better? Yea! But I’m proud :) #screwbeanmesquite #neoscytalidiumdimidiatum

Albizia julibrissin is an ecologically and economically significant tree species in China. Shuaishuai Sha et al. present a first report of Botryosphaeria dothidea, Diplodia seriata, and Neoscytalidium dimidiatum pathogens causing canker on A. julibrissin: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-03-25-0699-RE
Fig. 1. Symptoms of canker disease on Albizia julibrissin trees growing in urban green spaces in southern Xinjiang. All samples were collected from trees growing in landscaped urban green spaces, including roadside plantations, residential greenbelts, and city parks. A, Elongated cankers (red arrow) and tip dieback (white arrow) on the tree trunk. B, Longitudinal section showing dark brown necrotic tissue in the wood. C, Cross-section of the affected main stem. D, Canker symptoms on branches. E, Longitudinal section shows a distinct boundary between healthy and diseased tissue. F, Cross-section of a branch displaying brown canker lesions.

Cheng-Fang Hong et al. found low genetic diversity across #Neoscytalidium dimidiatum isolates collected over more than a decade—suggesting predominantly an asexual population structure of N. dimidiatum on dragon fruit in Taiwan: https://doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO-09-25-0291-R
Fig. 1. Spatial distribution of Neoscytalidium dimidiatum populations collected from dragon fruit and cattleya orchids between 2011 and 2024 in Taiwan. Darker green indicates a higher sample size in the county or city, and numbers in parentheses are the total number of N. dimidiatum isolates collected in the region. The region boundaries in Taiwan island were approximately the location of the Zhuoshui River and the Central Mountain Range.

Neoscytalidium dimidiatum affects dragon fruit production globally. Yung-Ching Ho et al. compared the phylogenetic and phenotypic diversity of the N. dimidiatum populations collected from dragon fruit in Taiwan with isolates from other hosts and countries: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-11-24-2348-RE
