Phytopthera





There are many diseases that belong in this family so please be
careful when

you spread the doom. You are probably referring to the species of

Phytophthera that leads to SOD or sudden oak death , Phytophthora
ramorum, which is

playing havoc on the West Coast and is spreading East. It is not the
same disease

that can affect geraniums, petunias and other ornamentals and
vegetables.

There is extensive literature that you can find via Google as well as

quarrantines that are hoped to slow the spread.

Thanks Andrew for the reminder. Phytopthora is a huge genus (also
responsible for potato famine I believe)



Anyway, more about P. ramorum can be found on this weblink
