Population Genetics of Fungal Pathogens that Threaten the Biosecurity of Australia's Eucalypts

威胁澳大利亚桉树生物安全的真菌病原体的群体遗传学。许多新的病原体和疾病正在世界各地的外来桉树种植园出现。这些新出现的疾病对澳大利亚的原生桉树林和种植园构成威胁。有必要采取警惕的检疫措施，以防止潜在的毁灭性病原体进入澳大利亚。然而，入侵确实发生了，现在非常需要在这些病原体进入澳大利亚之前对其进行研究。通过研究病原体的群体遗传学，可以估计它们的进化潜力，并确定它们对澳大利亚本地和种植的桉树构成的风险程度。

Population Genetics of Fungal Pathogens that Threaten the Biosecurity of Australia's Eucalypts. Many new pathogens and diseases are emerging on exotic eucalypt plantations throughout the world. These emerging diseases pose a threat to native eucalypt forests and plantations in Australia. Vigilant quarantine measures are necessary to prevent the introduction of potentially devastating pathogens into Australia. However, incursions do occur and there is a great need to study these pathogens now, before they enter Australia. By studying the population genetics of pathogens, their evolutionary potential can be estimated and with that the extent of the risk they pose to native and planted eucalypts in Australia can be determined.
