Fahimeh Jami,Bernard Slippers,Michael J. Wingfield,Mattheus Theodor Loots,Marieka Gryzenhout +4 more
TL;DR: Significant variation in species richness overtime for the intensively sampled area was found and there was no evidence of tissue specificity for this group of fungi in leaves, branches and body parts of this host plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges to planted forest health in developing economies
TL;DR: It is proposed that a regional strategy is needed for developing regions such as sub-Saharan Africa, where limited resources can be optimized and shared risks managed collectively and the development of an inter-regional phytosanitary agency, exploiting new technologies to identify insect pests, and the use of “citizen science” projects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plants for planting; indirect evidence for the movement of a serious forest pathogen, Teratosphaeria destructans, in Asia
Vera Andjic,Bernard Dell,Paul A. Barber,Giles E. St. J. Hardy,Michael J. Wingfield,Treena I. Burgess,Treena I. Burgess +6 more
TL;DR: The spread of a single clone over large distances throughout the region supports the hypothesis of spread via the human-mediated movement of germplasm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lecanosticta acicola: A growing threat to expanding global pine forests and plantations.
TL;DR: The pathogen Lecanosticta acicola causes brown spot needle blight (BSNB) of Pinus species, which occurs mostly in the Northern Hemisphere but has also been reported in Central America and Colombia.
