Ceylon Spiny Mouse
The Ceylon Spiny Mouse (Mus fernandoni) is a species in the genus Mus. It is currently classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List.
Pseudoperonospora urticae is an obligate biotrophic oomycete downy mildew pathogen in the family Peronosporaceae, infecting stinging nettle (Urtica) species. It causes yellowing and chlorosis of leaves with characteristic grayish sporulation on the undersurface during moist conditions. Its host specificity to nettles makes it an interesting model for studying coevolution between oomycete pathogens and their wild hosts.
