gorilla

O maior primata do mundo, os gorilas ocidentais pesam até 180 kg e habitam as florestas tropicais e subtropicais da África equatorial. Principalmente herbívoros, vivem em grupos familiares liderados por um macho dominante (silverback) que protege o bando e medeia conflitos sociais. Criticamente Em Perigo, com populações ameaçadas pelo desmatamento, caça ilegal para carne de caça e surtos de doença pelo vírus Ebola.

Pseudoperonospora urticae e um oomiceto mildio biotrofico obrigatorio da familia Peronosporaceae, infectando especies de ortiga (Urtica). Causa amarelamento e clorose das folhas com esporo cinzento caracteristico na face inferior durante condicoes umidas. Sua especificidade ao hospedeiro para ortigas torna-o um modelo interessante para estudar a coevolucao entre patogenos oomicetos e seus hospedeiros silvestres.
