A Phytophthora cinnamomi&lt;/em&gt; strain was used for comparison. Host susceptibility to infection was determined as the lesion length after stem inoculation and the percentage of necrotized rootlets after soil infestation with inoculated millet seeds. The aggressiveness of the alder &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; isolate was significantly higher in the two &lt;em&gt;Alnus&lt;/em&gt; species than in the other hosts. Our results were confirmed with both methods of inoculation. &lt;em&gt;Alnus cordata&lt;/em&gt; was consistently the most susceptible host species when compared with the other hardwoods. Damage by &lt;em&gt;P. cinnamomi&lt;/em&gt; was severe, particularly after soil infestation tests. The most susceptible species were alders, chestnut and walnut. The test also suggests that alder &lt;em&gt;Phytophthora&lt;/em&gt; is able to spread through infected seedlings of different hardwood species.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
