Plant Disease Epidemiology: Facing Challenges of the 21st Century : Under the aegis of an International Plant Disease Epidemiology Workshop held at Landernau, France, 10-15th April, 2005

As the global climate changes, plant disease epidemiology faces important questions: Will climate change render plant diseases more harmful to man-made ecosystems, or less? Can sustainable systems be developed in time to spare and enhance shrinking resources? How will changes in host plant diversity affect genetic disease resistance? This book provides an overview of current research in plant disease epidemiology from researchers at the cutting edge of this important discipline.
