Abstract

Control measures for forest Phytophthoras often focus on reducing the spread of infested soils, including closing roads and washing vehicles. Similar measures are suggested for Phytophthora ramorum, despite its evident aerial dispersal: stay out of areas of wet soils, and clean clothing and equipment when entering or leaving infested areas. It remains unclear, however, if these measures have limited the spread of P. ramorum in Oregon and California.
