[IUFRO RG 7.02 FORPATH] Ambrosiella brunnea

Dear Colleagues, We are currently completing microsatellite development/analysis for the Laurel wilt pathogen, Raffaelea lauricola and are looking at cross-species transferability to close relatives. To complete these studies, we need to get a culture of Ambrosiella brunnea. Before requesting the fungus from a mycological collection, I wanted to determine if any of our colleagues in the U.S. have isolates they could share. If you have an isolate that you can share, please let me know. Thank you. Jason Jason A.
