ABSTRACTThe rareospCallele L was detected in 30% ofBorrelia burgdorferisensu stricto strains cultured from a tick species,Ixodes affinis, and two rodent host species,Peromyscus gossypinusandSigmodon hispidus, collected in a coastal plain area of Georgia and South Carolina, in the southeastern United States.

ABSTRACTComparative analysis ofospCgenes from 127Borrelia burgdorferisensu stricto strains collected in European and North American regions where Lyme disease is endemic and where it is not endemic revealed a close relatedness of geographically distinct populations.ospCalleles A, B, and L were detected on both continents in vectors and hosts, including humans. SixospCalleles, A, B, L, Q, R, and V, were prevalent in Europe; 4 of them were detected in samples of human origin. TenospCalleles, A, B, D, E3, F, G, H, H3, I3, and M, were identified in the far-western United States. FourospCalleles, B, G, H, and L, were abundant in the southeastern United States. Here we present the first expanded analysis ofospCalleles ofB. burgdorferistrains from the southeastern United States with respect to their relatedness to strains from other North American and European localities. We demonstrate thatospCgenotypes commonly associated with human Lyme disease in European and North American regions where the disease is endemic were detected inB. burgdorferistrains isolated from the non-human-biting tickIxodes affinisand rodent hosts in the southeastern United States. We discovered that someospCalleles previously known only from Europe are widely distributed in the southeastern United States, a finding that confirms the hypothesis of transoceanic migration ofBorreliaspecies.

Herbicide Treatments

AbstractHen’s eyes (Ardisia crenata Sims) is a shade-tolerant invasive shrub displacing native understory in forests of the Coastal Plain of the southeastern United States. Few studies have explored herbicide effectiveness on A. crenata, with foliar applications of triclopyr amine or triclopyr ester typically referenced as the standard treatments. This study evaluated efficacy of eight foliar herbicide treatments and a nontreated check at three locations at 12 mo after the first treatment (12MAT1) and 12 mo after the second treatment (12MAT2) on established (greater than 8-cm high) and seedling (less than 8-cm high) A. crenata. Treatments were four triclopyr formulations: amine, ester, choline, and acid (all at 4.04 kg ae ha−1); imazamox (1.12 and 2.24 kg ae ha−1); flumioxazin (0.43 kg ai ha−1); and triclopyr amine plus flumioxazin (4.04 + 0.43 kg ae ha−1). At 12MAT1, triclopyr ester, the high rate of imazamox, and triclopyr acid resulted in greater control of established A. crenata than any other herbicide (68%, 66%, and 64%, respectively). At 12MAT2, all herbicides except flumioxazin resulted in some control of A. crenata. Triclopyr ester, triclopyr acid, and the high rate of imazamox provided 95%, 93%, and 92% control, respectively. Triclopyr choline did not perform as well as the acid or ester formulations, and the tank mix of flumioxazin and triclopyr amine did not improve control over triclopyr amine alone. This study identified triclopyr acid and imazamox (2.24 kg ae ha−1) as new options for A. crenata control and indicated variation in the performance among the four triclopyr formulations.

Preliminary Phylogenetic Analysis

Orange cane blotch affects commercial blackberry production in the southeastern United States, mainly in the Coastal Plain region. The causal agent is a slow-growing parasitic alga, Cephaleuros virescens, which has a wide host range. Disease development is linked to the biennial growth pattern of blackberry, whereby symptoms appear in the early fall and algal lesions expand throughout the winter, spring, and early summer of the following year. Preliminary phylogenetic analysis of 18S rDNA sequences suggests that blackberry isolates from different geographical locations cluster together and are genetically similar to each other and yet differ from isolates of C. virescens obtained from commercial blueberry.
