The most commonly isolated group of Oomycetes was Pythium belonging to Clade B2. There was little difference among hosts, except for reed canarygrass from which only one Pythium sp. was isolated. Saprolegnia was isolated from three hosts. Two Phytophthoras belonging to Clade 6 were isolated, and these, as well as Pythiums in Clade B2, were commonly found at the other freshwater sites sampled in this study. Phylogenetic trees from sequence data obtained in this study:

Looking for Phytophthora ramorum – Lucy Rollins
Contact: Gary Chastagner, 253-445-4528 | WSU Puyallup Research & Extension Center, 2606 West Pioneer, Puyallup, WA, 98371-4998 USA Last updated January 2, 2013
The Clarks Creek Watershed is located in Puyallup. It contains a mixture of land uses and supports runs of steelhead trout, Chinook, pink, Coho, and chum salmon. Pollution from microbial contamination (bacteria and other pathogens) has been detected in high levels within Clarks Creek. The creek has been classified as a 303 (d) for fecal coliform. Water molds such as Phytophthora and Pythium species have also been detected in the creek. Invasive Phytophthora species such as P. ramorum can cause serious damage to native forests and to the nursery and forest products industries. P. ramorum has not been found in Clarks Creek but is present in other streams in western Washington. Early detection of these organisms will allow for rapid response and reduce their impacts to the ecosystems. Another water mold, Saprolegnia, is common on fish raised in hatcheries and could affect populations of native amphibians if present in high enough numbers.
