This area of research focuses on biotic and abiotic mechanisms of suppression of pathogens in soils, biodiversity of plant-associated fungi, nematodes, bacteria and viruses, and population structure and dynamics of plant-pathogens and other plant-associated microbes. Epidemiological research focuses on disease forecasting in multiple pathosystems, spatial and temporary epidemiology, dynamics of fungicide resistance, host resistance, and impacts of resistance on pathogen populations.
