  • Influential disease foci in epidemics and underlying mechanisms: a field experiment and simulations

    Creator:
    Estep, Laura K., Sackett, Kathryn E., and Mundt, Christopher C.
    Abstract:
    Pathogen invasions pose a growing threat to ecosystem stability and public health. Guidelines for the timing and spatial extent of control measures for pathogen invasions are currently limited, however. We conducted a field experiment using wheat (Triticum aestivum) stripe rust, caused by the wind-dispersed fungus Puccinia striiformis, to study the...

  • Durable resistance: A key to sustainable management of pathogens and pests

    Creator:
    Mundt, Christopher C.
    Abstract:
    This review briefly addresses what has been learned about resistance durability in recent years, as well as the questions that still remain. Molecular analyses of major gene interactions have potential to contribute to both breeding for resistance and improved understanding of virulence impacts on pathogen fitness. Though the molecular basis...

    Mikaberidze, Alexey, Mundt, Christopher C., and Bonhoeffer, Sebastian
    Abstract:
    Plant diseases often cause serious yield losses in agriculture. A pathogen’s invasiveness can be quantified by the basic reproductive number, R₀. Since pathogen transmission between host plants depends on the spatial separation between them, R₀ is strongly influenced by the spatial scale of the host distribution.We present a proof of...
