Phytophthora
infestans Phytophthora infestans is a species of water mold that causes the plant disease known as late blight. It causes disease in both agricultural and garden plants, and is considered one of the most destructive plant pathogens in world history. Late blight is responsible for the Irish Potato Famine of the 1840s, and continues to be an important issue for potato and tomato farmers. If untreated, the fungus can spread quickly and cause severe crop losses. Phytophthora infestans can be controlled with fungicides, crop rotation, and other cultural practices.

Colorectal cancer is cancer that starts in the colon or rectum. The colon and the rectum are parts of the large intestine, which is the lower part of the body's digestive system. During digestion, food moves through the stomach and small intestine into the colon. The colon absorbs water and nutrients from the food and stores waste matter (stool).
