Citrus greening (HLB) has devastated the citrus industries in USA and Brazil. Invasion of the EU is possible, perhaps is even likely. How can spread modelling contribute to epidemiological preparedness? @JREllis_12's work @plantsci shows how. Preprint at biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Is optimal control really "optimal" for plant disease? Not when disease spread is stochastic, which matters when trying to eradicate epidemics. Rachel Russell's 1st PhD preprint tinyurl.com/ye5zastf @plantsci @Agri_FoRwArdS explores implications #planthealth @OpenPlantPath
