Sudden Oak Death

I may be starting a new job working with the pathogen that causes "Sudden Oak Death", so I created this blog to help me organize links and information as I learn about this subject!

some links to get me started:

I live in Canada, so I looked at the Canadian Phytopathology Society (CPS) site: Sudden Oak Death

Lots of news and information about SOD in Canada there.

Also the CFIA website...

on the APSnet: Sudden Oak Death Online Symposium with great list of online resources


Google of Sudden Oak Death, Google of ramorum, Wiki entry

External links from Wiki:

• New Scientist news


• University of California SOD pest notes


• California Agriculture


• UK Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs - notes on SOD


• Washington State University SOD Resources


• Reducing spread of SOD


• Pocket Diagnostic Test Kits

I guess that's enough for now.....
