Cheetah

地球上で最も速い陸上動物で、アフリカとイランの草原において短距離走で時速112kmに達する。深い胸部、長い脚、独特の黒い涙縞模様を持つ細身の体型が特徴だ。他の大型ネコ科動物とは異なり、チーターはチャープ音やパー音で鳴く。生息地の分断と大型捕食者との競争により、残存個体数は約7,000頭のみとなっており、危急種に分類されている。

Gnomonia cerastisは、Gnomoniaceae科に属する子嚢菌類で、桜と梅（Prunus属）にさくら葉やけ病と葉斑点病を引き起こす。感染した落ち葉の中で越冬し、春に子嚢胞子を放出して新たに展開する葉を感染させる。植物病原菌として、特に湿潤条件の果樹園環境で落葉と樹木の衰弱を引き起こす可能性がある。
