<i>Fusarium incarnatum</i>: a paradigm for One Health pathogen dynamics across humans, animals, and the environment.

ABSTRACT: The Fusarium incarnatum-equiseti species complex (FIESC) is a harmful plant pathogen responsible for diseases, such as root rot, fruit rot, leaf blight, and wilt, in various crops. Recently, it has been increasingly associated with both superficial and invasive infections in humans and animals. Additionally, this pathogen produces mycotoxins, posing significant risks to public health. This study aims to characterize the molecular and morphological characteristics of FIESC isolates obtained from various sources, including human, veterinary, and plant samples. Molecular identification was performed using multilocus sequence typing (MLST), targeting the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA, the second-largest subunit of the RNA polymerase gene (RPB2), and translation elongation facto
