“…In addition, changing land-use patterns and changes in climate can and will continue to influence the range expansion of native species affecting the spread and impact of introduced non-native species [2]. Continued efforts on the avoidance of new introductions and recognizing the human factor affecting the emergence of pests and diseases, interdisciplinary research on emerging invasive diseases, and creative strategies for the mitigation of plant disease impacts in natural and semi-natural ecosystems, is warranted [6,142].

Biological invasions, resulting from deliberate and unintentional species transfers of insects, fungal and oomycete organisms, are a major consequence of globalization and pose a significant threat to biodiversity. Limiting damage by non-indigenous forest pathogens requires an understanding of their current and potential distributions, factors affecting disease spread, and development of appropriate management measures. In this review, we synthesize innate characteristics of invading organisms (notably mating system, reproduction type, and dispersal mechanisms) and key factors of the host population (namely host diversity, host connectivity, and host susceptibility) that govern spread and impact of invasive forest pathogens at various scales post-introduction and establishment. We examine spread dynamics for well-known invasive forest pathogens, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (T. Kowalski) Baral, Queloz, Hosoya, comb. nov., causing ash dieback in Europe, and Cryphonectria parasitica, (Murr.) Barr, causing chestnut blight in both North America and Europe, illustrating the importance of host variability (diversity, connectivity, susceptibility) in their invasion success. While alien pathogen entry has proven difficult to control, and new biological introductions are indeed inevitable, elucidating the key processes underlying host variability is crucial for scientists and managers aimed at developing effective strategies to prevent future movement of organisms and preserve intact ecosystems.

“…Existing studies of fungi invasion biology mostly concentrate on pathogens, probably because the direct effect of pathogenic organisms occurring in novel ranges is easily perceptible and the negative economic consequences can be remarkable. Five highly pathogenic species of fungi are on the list of One Hundred of the World's Worst Invasive Alien Species [4]. Among non-pathogenic fungi, more detailed descriptions of invasion patterns have only been published for a few ectomycorrhizal fungi [5,6].…”

Clathrus archeri is a saprotrophic fungus native to Australia and New Zealand and known in Europe since the beginning of the 20 th century. In Poland, C. archeri was recorded for the fi rst time in 1973 and since then basidiomata of this fungus have been recorded almost 90 times, mostly in the southern part of the country. In the present study, we update the distribution of C. archeri in Poland and include the latest records from Central Poland. We show a signifi cant increase in the number of C. archeri observations in recent years (R 2 = 0.400, p<0.001). Our research shows that precipitation should be regarded as an important factor in the spread of C. archeri. Additionally, intraspecifi c genetic variability of nrRNA of C. archeri from different localities in Poland has been determined. Obtained results indicate zero to low levels of diversity in the nrITS and nrLSU sequences obtained from 16 C. archeri basidiomata from different localities in Poland (evolutionary divergence between sequences up to 0.002 and 0.001 for nrITS and nrLSU, respectively). Finally we identify some limitations in this research and make suggestions for future studies of pathways of the distribution of this fungus in the new area.

“…The trade has also increased the spread of associated organisms, some of which are plant pathogens (Hansen 2008, Desprez-Loustau et al 2010. Simultaneously, climate change predictions are going to affect the distribution and virulence of pathogens, many of which have not been considered important because of an unfavorable climate (Desprez-Loustau et al 2007).…”

The comparative ease and speed of international trade and travel have enabled or enhanced the spread of pests around the globe. For example, trade in ornamental plants has bolstered the spread of alien Oomycetes such as pathogenic species of Phytophthora. To date, four Phytophthora species have been identified in Finland: P. cactorum on Fragaria x ananassa, Betula pendula and Rhododendron spp., P. plurivora on Rhododendron spp. and Syringa vulgaris, and P. pini and P. ramorum on Rhododendron spp. The ascomycete Colletotrichum acutatum, which was listed as a quarantine pathogen by the European Union until 2009, was introduced in 2000 and can survive in plant debris over two winters in Finland. Positive PCR results have also been obtained from bait plants grown in soil collected from locations where diseased Fragaria x ananassa plants had earlier been destroyed. In the mid-1990s, there was an epidemic of foliar rust caused by the Asian basidiomycete Melampsoridium hiratsukanum on Alnus glutinosa and A. incana. Recently, two ascomycetes that have been introduced are Dothistroma septosporum (responsible for red band needle blight on Pinus sylvestris) and Chalara fraxinea (causing ash decline on Fraxinus excelsior).
