The Magnitude of Regional-Scale Tree Mortality Caused by the Invasive PathogenPhytophthora ramorum

EARTHS FUTURE, 8(7).

By: R. Cobb *, S. Haas*, N. Kruskamp n, W. Dillon*, T. Swiecki *, D. Rizzo *, S. Frankel *, R. Meentemeyer n 

author keywords: tree mortality; sudden oak death; landscape ecology; geographic disequilibrium; invasive species; disease
TL;DR: Estimated infection and mortality for the four most susceptible host species of Phytophthora ramorum, an invasive pathogen that drives the most important biological cause of tree mortality in a broad geographic region of coastal California and southwest Oregon, suggest that the disease will intensify in the coming decades.

2019 journal article

Direct and indirect effects of forest microclimate on pathogen spillover

ECOLOGY, 100(5).

By: W. Dillon n & R. Meentemeyer n 

author keywords: disease ecology; emerging infectious disease; microclimate; path analysis; pathogen spillover; Phytophthora ramorum; sudden oak death
MeSH headings : Humans; Microclimate; Phytophthora; Plant Diseases; Quercus; Umbellularia
TL;DR: Investigating the relative influence of biotic and abiotic factors on pathogen spillover for the emerging infectious forest disease sudden oak death (SOD) found that biotic factors of pathogen load and tree diversity had relatively stronger effects on pathogenic spillover compared to abiotic microclimate factors.

2014 journal article

Perspectives of spatial scale in a wildland forest epidemic

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PLANT PATHOLOGY, 138(3), 449–465.

By: W. Dillon n, S. Haas n, D. Rizzo * & R. Meentemeyer n 

author keywords: Host density; Landscape epidemiology; Multilevel; Multiscale; Phytophthora ramorum; Sudden oak death
TL;DR: This work developed statistical models of disease intensity across five nested levels of spatial aggregation, from an individual host through four broader spatial extents of observation, and found no significant difference in model performance at the individual level. (via Semantic Scholar)
