Part 8 New Re Emerging Pathogens - Dr. Lisa Keith

Newly introduced or re-emerging diseases can threaten the production of ornamental crops if not detected early and managed effectively.
Our aim is to evaluate and characterize emerging or re-emerging diseases and understand the host-pathogen interactions.
The ultimate goal is to develop or improve control measures and find sources of host resistance to pathogens in economically important ornamental crops.
Information on diseases of tropical ornamentals will be presented . Dr.
