Understanding myrtle rust epidemiology and host specificity to determine disease impact in Australia - Final Report

To properly assess the economic, environmental and social impacts of myrtle rust in Australia, it is necessary to have a good understanding of the disease epidemiology and host specificity. While there are many other aspects of myrtle rust that will also require research and development; in this project disease epidemiology and host specificity were priority areas for research, to help understand how this disease is going to behave under Australian environmental conditions and enable accurate impact assessments.
