TL;DR: It was concluded that a new Phytophthora species, described here as P. ramorum sp.

TL;DR: The results described in this paper indicate that COI sequencing and the dataset generated are a valuable addition to the currently available oomycete taxonomy resources, and that both COI, the default DNA barcode supported by GenBank, and ITS, the de facto barcode accepted by the oomyCete and mycology community, are acceptable and complementary DNA barcodes to be used for identification of oomy cetes.

TL;DR: Twenty-six species had ITS sequences identical or nearly identical to formerly described species, suggesting possible conspecificity and the importance of comparing ITS sequences of putative new species to the now available ITS database in order to avoid unwarranted new species names being introduced.

TL;DR: The prevention to contract the disease in endemic areas is difficult, and avoiding stagnant waters could be of help, although the presence of P. insidiosum on grass and soil in enzootic areas renders this practice useless.

TL;DR: This study provides phylogenetic synopses for 25 groups of plant pathogenic fungi in the Ascomycota, BasidiomyCota, Mucormycotina (Fungi), and Oomycota using recent molecular data, up-to-date names, and the latest taxonomic insights.
