Abstract
Phytophthora cinnamomi the agent of eucalypt dieback disease in Western Australia is a serious pathogen of many plant species around the world. The pathogen has a very wide host range. In Western Australia many species of native plants are susceptible, and a large number because they are of limited distribution are threatened with extinction. This paper reviews the mechanisms by which P. cinnamomi causes disease, together with the factors that contribute to the spread and survival of the pathogen allowing it cause new disease epidemics when the right conditions prevail. It also looks at possibilities for control of the pathogen by management, chemical application and biological control.
