Widespread Phytophthora infestations in European nurseries put forest, semi-natural and horticultural ecosystems at high risk of Phytophthora diseases (2016, background): “The risk of aggressive Phytophthora species spreading with visually healthy host plants is convincingly demonstrated by the work reported here and by Migliorini et al. (2015).”
Common pathways by which non-native forest insects move internationally and domestically (2018, background): “2017); (4) they are often transported with soil or growing media, facilitating transfer of soil-borne insects and pathogens (Migliorini et al. 2015); and (5) fashion trends in garden plants change rapidly (Smith et al.”
Urban trees: bridge-heads for forest pest invasions and sentinels for early detection (2017, unknown): “This is particularly exemplified by the oomycete genus Phytophthora, where potting media or even roots of ‘bare rooted’ plants may be infested with resting spores, despite plants being asymptomatic (Brasier 2008; Desprez-Loustau et al. 2010;Migliorini et al. 2015).”
