| Cynthia,
Although I work with Fusarium in human infections, mostly eye infections from
contact solutions, we have seen a great deal of mycotic infestation in immuno-
compromised patients as well. Being a natural inhabitant of soil and water,
plants (including orchids) have been known to acquire this through cuts and
stalk damage causing dry rot. I read they are also conducting studies on plants
having similar conditions. Those that are stressed from varying circumstances.
They seem to think that these plants are even more susceptible to it. Will
post more information on this as I hear further news. |
