Pythium-induced root rot is a common crop disease. When the organism kills newly emerged or emerging seedlings, it is known as damping off, and is a very common problem in fields and greenhouses. [2] Thus there is tremendous interest in genetic host resistance, but no crop has ever developed adequate resistance to Pythium. [3]

Similarly to apple trees, crown rots of strawberries caused by P. cactorum can be partially diagnosed by cutting the crown of the plant and observing brown vascular tissues, and root rots by brown or black stunted roots. [7] Leather rot of strawberry is an additional disease affecting strawberry plants, with P. cactorum being the causal agent ...
Alabama rot, Greenetrack disease, or cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV) [1] is an often fatal condition in dogs. It was first identified in the US in the 1980s in greyhounds. [2] [3] The high number of affected dogs at the Greenetrack Racing Park, Alabama, led to the initial pseudonyms of Greenetrack Disease and Alabama Rot. [4]

Maggot therapy (also known as larval therapy) is a type of biotherapy involving the introduction of live, disinfected maggots (fly larvae) into non-healing skin and soft-tissue wounds of a human or other animal for the purpose of cleaning out the necrotic (dead) tissue within a wound (debridement), and disinfection.
