The exotic causal agent, &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora ramorum&lt;/em&gt;, is an oomycete in the Straminipile group, a relative of diatoms and algae. &lt;em&gt;P. ramorum&lt;/em&gt; also infects many popular horticultural plants (i.e. camellia and rhododendron), causing ramorum blight, with symptoms expressed as leaf spots, twig blight and shoot dieback. &lt;em&gt;P. ramorum&lt;/em&gt; has raised important biosecurity issues, which continue to reverberate through the agriculture, forestry and horticulture industries as well as associated government management, regulatory and scientific agencies. The continued spread of this and other new &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; spp. presents significant impetus for adjustments in the management and regulation of forest pathogens and nursery stock.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
