Which Pathogen Produces Zoospores as a Resting Structure?

Another striking feature of Phytophthora is that it produces swimming spores, called zoospores, during one phase of its life cycle, a vestige of its evolutionary origins in water.

Which pathogen produce oospores as a resting structure?

Although chlamydospores are common to soilborne fungi, they are associated with aerial pathogens as well, such as Phytophthora ramorum, the causal agent of sudden oak death and ramorum blight. A common survival, or resting, structure is the sclerotium.

Which fungi produce zoospores?

Zoospores are produced by Blastocladiomycota, Chytridiomycota, Neocallimastigomycota, and diverse zoosporic fungi of uncertain taxonomic assignment included in the Cryptomycota (Chapter 1).
