Hello forpathers,

I am in urgent need of a pathogenic isolate of Apiognomonia veneta (Discula nervisequa), causal agent of sycamore anthracnose, preferably (but not necessarily) from North America.  We have tried to isolate it from American sycamore but we have been unable to get a pathogenic isolate.  We need it to conduct controlled inoculations.

We will request an APHIS permit to import into Ohio if anyone is willing to share.

Thank you for your consideration!

Enrico
