  • Title: Phytophthora ramorum: integrative research and management of an emerging pathogen in California and Oregon forests.
    Author: Rizzo DM, Garbelotto M, Hansen EM.
    Journal: Annu Rev Phytopathol; 2005; 43():309-35. PubMed ID: 16078887.
    Abstract:
    Phytophthora ramorum, causal agent of sudden oak death, is an emerging plant pathogen first observed in North America associated with mortality of tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus) and coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) in coastal forests of California during the mid-1990s. The pathogen is now known to occur in North America and Europe and have a host range of over 40 plant genera. Sudden oak death has become an example of unintended linkages between the horticultural industry and potential impacts on forest ecosystems. This paper examines the biology and ecology of P. ramorum in California and Oregon forests as well discussing research on the pathogen in a broader management context.
