Phytophthora lateralis discovered in an old growth Chamaecyparis forest in Taiwan (2010, background): “lateralis is considered a major quarantine organism in many locations, including Europe (Anon 2006; Woodhall & Sansford, 2006; Brasier, 2008).”
Emerging diseases in European forest ecosystems and responses in society. (2011, background): “Increasingly however, the nursery trade, particularly in ornamental plants, is thought to be responsible for the movement of pathogens [5,6].”
Effects of Climate Change on Invasive Species (2021, background): “While there is a clear need and strong desire to improve cultural practices in the nursery industry to reduce pathogen invasions (Brasier 2008), there is also an inescapable need to understand why some of the many established pathogens eventually emerge as disease agents or suddenly expand into new…”
Pests and diseases threatening urban trees under a changing climate (2010, background): “Overall, the lack of forward planning for such potential new threats (Brasier, 2008) presents a major biosecurity problem.”
Invasive weed species’ threats to global biodiversity: Future scenarios of changes in the number of invasive species in a changing climate (2020, background): “Thus, the combination of new invasion threats and host vulnerabilities present an unprecedented IWS risk profile (Brasier, 2008).”
Endophytes vs tree pathogens and pests: can they be used as biological control agents to improve tree health? (2019, background): “Lax biosecurity, including the importation of planting stock and tree products, can also drive biological invasions by tree pests and diseases, as has been demonstrated in Europe (Brasier 2008; Epanchin-Niell 2017; Potter et al. 2011).”
An evolutionary ecology perspective to address forest pathology challenges of today and tomorrow (2016, background): “rapidly increasing with the intensification of international trade and travels (Brasier 2008; Desprez-Loustau et al. 2010; Pyšek et al. 2010; Santini et al. 2013; Roy et al. 2014), presenting a major challenge to forest pathology today.”
Metabarcoding: A powerful tool to investigate microbial communities and shape future plant protection strategies (2017, background): ““alien” species of microbes, which has become an ever greater global problem due to international trade and travel (Brasier, 2008).”
Urban trees: bridge-heads for forest pest invasions and sentinels for early detection (2017, neutral): “Consequently, they could not have been detected and stopped at checkpoints (Brasier 2008; Roy et al. 2014; Wingﬁeld et al. 2015).”
Novel associations between pathogens, insects and tree species threaten world forests (2010, background): “Recognition of this fact has resulted in growing attention to pathways of entry of alien invasive pests and pathogens (Brockerhoff et al., 2006a; DesprezLoustau et al., 2007; Brasier, 2008; Wilson et al., 2009).”
Common pathways by which non-native forest insects move internationally and domestically (2018, background): “Importation of live plants is an important pathway for the introduction of non-native insects (Smith et al. 2007; Brasier 2008; Hulme et al. 2008; Roques 2010; Liebhold et al. 2012).”
Species diversity and drivers of spread of alien fungi (sensu lato) in Europe with a particular focus on France (2009, background): “Since unintentional introduction is a common pathway for invasive fungi (Palm and Rossman 2003), the regional distribution of invasive fungi might be shaped by regional patterns of trade and transport of plant material (Schwartz et al. 2006; Brasier 2008) and passengers (Viljanen-Rollinson and Crome”
The Top 10 oomycete pathogens in molecular plant pathology. (2014, background): “parasitica strains to new areas following the inappropriate use of fungicides, and constitutes a growing threat to local agriculture and natural ecosystems (Brasier, 2008).”
The polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) and its fungal symbiont Fusarium euwallaceae: a new invasion in South Africa (2018, background): “Consequently, they could not have been regulated against, or detected and stopped at checkpoints (Eschen et al. 2015;Wingfield et al. 2015; Brasier 2008).”
