African elephant

非洲象是地球上体型最大的陆地动物，体重可达7,000千克，栖息于撒哈拉以南非洲的草原、稀树草原和森林中。作为关键种，它们通过挖掘水源、传播种子和改变植被结构，深刻塑造了其栖息地的生态系统。受栖息地丧失和象牙盗猎威胁，非洲象的保护至关重要。

Peronospora ranunculi 是 Peronosporaceae 科的卵菌霜霉病病原体，是毛茛属（Ranunculus）植物的专性活体营养寄生物。感染叶片和茎，在上表面引起褪绿病斑，下表面出现典型的灰色孢子形成。与其他 Peronospora 种一样，通过气流散布的孢子囊传播，需要活的寄主组织才能完成生活史。
