...Here, we apply previously published definitions of EIDs [1, 2 ] to diseases of plants, analyse the factors that drive their emergence and review their impact on human wellbeing and biodiversity....

...Similar to the agricultural changes that drive human [1] and wildlife [ 2 ] EIDs, the EIDs of cultivated plants are principally driven by increased globalization, socioeconomic development and technological advances (Box 4). In many developing countries, declining market prices for staple crops and the availability of year-round irrigation has promoted increased intensity and acreage of nontraditional crop plants....
