The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of the black spot disease on growth, health, and fecundity of the fish and to define predictive parameters related to the infestation. Cyprinids belonging to the Phoxinus complex (P. eos, P. eos × P. neogaeus) of Lake Fortune (Gatineau Park, Québec, Canada) were sampled periodically between June and September 1992. The highest intensity of infestation was encountered in September (0–216 black spots; [Formula: see text], SD = 26.0). Our results indicate that: (i) the condition index of the Phoxinus complex and the gonadosomatic index in females are not affected by the level of infestation; (ii) age is a better predictive parameter of the number of black spots than total length; (iii) fins are significantly more infested than the body; and (iv) infestation occurs mainly between June and September. Our results suggest that the black spot disease does not influence the biology of fish belonging to the Phoxinus complex, even in instances of severe infestation.

Black spot disease of pomegranate is a relatively new disease in Israel that is caused by Alternaria alternata. The symptoms include black spots on leaves and fruit. Only the outer part of the fruit is damaged; the edible tissue remains unaffected. In this study, we obtained 50 isolates of A. alternata from infected pomegranate plants that were classified based on pathogenicity tests using detached leaves. Using an arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction, we identified one primer (primer CAG) that reacted only with DNA of isolates that induced the most severe disease symptoms. Based on the sequence of the amplified fragment, we generated a specific primer (primer C) that recognizes these highly virulent isolates. Therefore, we suggest that primer C can be utilized as a molecular marker for the detection of A. alternata isolates that cause black spot disease of pomegranate.

Black spot disease is common in freshwater fish and is usually caused by the metacercaria stage of digenetic trematodes, normally from the Diplostomidae family. The present study evaluated the prevalence and intensity of this disease in Astyanax aff. fasciatus(Teleostei: Characiformes) in the Guaíba Lake basin (RS, Brazil), including body parts assessment and the points of sampling with higher occurrence of black spots. Fish samples were taken seasonally from December 2002 until October 2004. The samples were collected with the use of a seine net at eleven points. The specimens were fixed in 10% formalin and stored in 70% ethanol. Black spot disease showed a low frequency in the Guaíba lake basin (2.07%) and no specificity to the species Astyanax aff. fasciatus was observed. A high prevalence among the individuals and high intensity of infection levels was found in the ventral and dorsal regions in relation to other body parts (e.g., pectoral, pelvic and anal regions). Among the sampling points studied, we observed a higher prevalence on samples collected at points Gasômetro, Saco da Alemoa and Sinos, located in open areas with less occurrence of mollusks.

Black spot disease, which is caused by the Japanese pear pathotype of Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissler, is one of the most harmful diseases in Japanese pear cultivation. We identified the exact positions and linkage groups (LGs) of the genes for susceptibility to black spot in the Japanese pear ( Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) cultivars ‘Osa Nijisseiki’ (gene Ani) and ‘Nansui’ (gene Ana). Segregation of susceptibility and resistance fitted the expected ratio of 1:1 in progeny of ‘Nansui’ but showed a slight distortion in progeny of ‘Osa Nijisseiki’. We mapped the genes for susceptibility to black spot in both populations using a genome scanning approach. The simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers CH04h02 and CH03d02 showed tight linkage to Ani and Ana. Although Ani and Ana are derived from different sources, both genes are located at the top region of LG 11. Information about the positions of the susceptibility genes and the molecular markers linked to them will be useful for marker-assisted selection in pear breeding programs.
