Braun S E Castrillo L A Sanderson J P Daughtrey M L and Wraight S P 2010 Transstadial transmission of Pythium in Bradysia impatiens and lack of adult vectoring capacity Phytopathology 100 1307 1314Fungus gnats have been shown to transmit a variety of plant pathogenic fungi that produce aerial dispersal stages However few studies have examined potential interactions between fungus gnats and oomycetes including Pythium spp A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to determine whether fungus gnat adults are vectors of several common greenhouse Pythium spp including Pythium aphant dermatum P irregulare and P ultimum An additional objective was determine whether P aphanidermatum can be maintained transstadially in the gut of a fungus gnat larva through the pupal stadium to be transmitted by the subsequent adult Adult fungus gnats did not pick up infectious Pythium propagules from diseased plants and transmit them to healthy plants in any experiment Species specific primers and a probe for real time polymerase chain reaction were developed to detect the presence of P aphanidermatum DNA in fungus gn it tissue samples P aphanidermatum DNA was detectable in the larval and pupal stages however none was detected in adult fungus gnus These results are in agreement with previous studies that have suggested that adult fungus gnats are unlikely vectors of Pythium spp
