“…where they are native, but sufficiently unimportant to be noted, it could also have originated on trees related to Eucalyptus elsewhere in the world. This would be similar to the case of the pathogens causing the important Cryphonectria canker of Eucalyptus (Burgess and Coniothyrium species have very few useful morphological characteristics of taxonomic relevance. Recognition of species has been based on the morphology of the single-celled conidia including wall ornamentation, pigmentation and size (Taylor & Crous 2001).…”

“…The lack of diversity in Perth compared to populations from eastern Australia, further supports a founder effect following an introduction of a small number of individuals. The introduction of plant material for the rapid expansion of Eucalyptus globulus plantation forestry in south-western Australia, since the mid 1990's (Burgess and Wingfield 2002;Loch and Floyd 2001), is the most likely pathway by which C. noackae was introduced into Western Australia. This mirrors the increased incidence of pests and pathogens in this region (Burgess and Wingfield 2002;Loch and Floyd 2001).…”

“…In contrast to native forests, where epidemics may be restricted by the variable age structure and diversity of 1 forest communities, eucalypt plantations are particularly susceptible to damage by MLD (Burgess and Wingfield 2002). This is especially notable in plantations on sites outside the normal range of the species, suggesting that MLD may influence the ecological niches of different eucalypt species and the suitability of different species for plantation development in certain areas.…”
