TL;DR: The hypothesis that populations found in the Andes are descendants of the Mexican populations and reconcile previous findings of ancestral variation in theAndes is supported, as well as the harnessing of plant disease resistance to manage late blight.

TL;DR: Nursery plants are important vectors for plant pathogens and understanding what pathogens occur in nurseries in different production stages can be useful to the development of integrated systems approaches to management of Phytophthora disease.

TL;DR: Phytophthora obscura sp. nov as discussed by the authors is a new pathogen that infects foliage of Kalmia latifolia and Aesculus hippocastanum.

TL;DR: Results of the pathogenicity and fungicide resistance to mefenoxam showing that isolates were similarly virulent against red raspberry and the EC50 frequency distributions showed no significant difference show that P. rubi isolates from Washington, Oregon, and California represent one large mixed population.

TL;DR: This paper conducted a phylogeographic analysis of populations of the plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi sampled in Asia, Australia, Europe, southern and northern Africa, South America, and North America and observed the highest genotypic diversity in Taiwan and Vietnam, followed by Australia and South Africa.
