Thrilled to share that my diagnostic guide on #oakwilt is now in First Look @plantdisease @planthealthprog 👇
It provides tools to distinguish oak wilt from its many look-alikes, featuring 11 figures & 6+ years of field photos. So, plenty to look at!

Happy to share new article from a #CollaborativeResearch with @MSUEntomology's #ForestEntomology lab! We identified #InsectVectors of #OakWilt 🍄and mapped their seasonal activity in Michigan based on cumulative degree days. @EntsocAmerica @plantdisease

🚨Oak Wilt Detection Made Easy🚨

Glad to hear how my research on a new #oakwilt sampling method is making life easier for homeowners, foresters, & diagnostic labs!

Now you can just collect fallen leaves & send them to @NPDN for diagnosis!

My samples are ready to cross borders! 🇺🇸🇨🇦 In collaboration with @PhilippeTangua2 @NRCan, we're using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect #Bretziellafagacearum (#oakwilt fungus) on insect vectors 🪲 & within host tissues 🌿. 🔬🐞🌳🍄

Great news to kick off the weekend! My/our (science is a team effort) paper on a complete #genome resource of the #oakwilt fungus, #Bretziellafagacearum, has been accepted in @plantdisease PhytoFrontiers, with minor revisions suggested! #nuclear #mitochondrial #chromosomes🧬🍄

🌳🎆 July 4th weekend-time for outdoor fun! But it's also when oak wilt infections start appearing. Keep an eye on your oaks for wilt symptoms. Check the pictures below for what you might see! Send samples to diagnostic clinics for confirmation. #OakWilt #TreeHealth #4thofJuly

@Tmiles_MSU lab having great interactions with growers on #viticulture field day, @MSUExtension. @Nancy_PhytoPath showing sampling for fungicide resistance testing. @PhytoaLEXIn_12 explaining imp. of her #sporetraps "babbies" to monitor pathogen populations and schedule spray.

[Dr. Denita Hadziabdic Guerry @TreeHealthDoc]

Our new manuscript focused on #ThousandCankersDisease alternative #vectors is out. We found 11 #beetle species to carry #fungal #pathogen #Geosmithia morbida. Congrats @Karan_PlantPath on your first MS paper. Well done. #fungi #WalnutTwigBeetle #walnuts https://t.co/23np7xoWmy
