SUMMARY Taxonomy and History: Hemileia vastatrix Berk. and Broome (Basidiomycota,
Pucciniales) was described in 1869 in eastern Africa and Ceylon as the agent of coffee leaf …

Some of the most striking and extreme consequences of rapid, long-distance aerial
dispersal involve pathogens of crop plants. Long-distance dispersal of fungal spores by the …

The principles and methods of monitoring and analysing epidemics of plant diseases and
some possible applications of epidemiological knowledge are described in this book …

This new edition of the universally acclaimed and widely-used textbook on fungal biology
has been completely re-written, drawing directly on the authors' research and teaching …

Models that describe the spread of invading organisms often assume that the dispersal
distances of propagules are normally distributed. In contrast, measured dispersal curves are …

Areography: Geographical Strategies of Species discusses the hypotheses and results of
areography, which is the study of geographical range of species. The book consists of six …

Dispersal is a fundamental biological process, operating at multiple temporal and spatial
scales. Despite an increasing understanding of fungal biodiversity, most research on fungal …

Rust fungi can overcome the effect of host resistance genes rapidly, and spores can
disperse long distance by wind. Here we demonstrate a foreign incursion of similar strains of …

In this review some of the evidence for and routes by which long-distance dispersal (LDD) of
rust urediospores is known to occur in various parts of the world is discussed under the …

The spread of parasites is inherently a spatial process often embedded in physically
complex landscapes. It is therefore not surprising that infectious disease researchers are …
