A trusted resource since it was first published in 1983, this highly anticipated third edition of “Compendium of Rose Diseases and Pests” has been extensively updated to reflect the latest advancements in plant pathology and pest management. Shop now: https://bit.ly/46MM70Q

New publication 🚨 🚨 . What are the challenges in using HTS in plant health? how has the field changed in the last decade? Where do we go from here?

Phages hitchhiking on nematodes through soil! So happy to see this work in print 😀 #phages #soil

Fun collab with Mark Zwart @niooknaw.bsky.social and Lisa van Sluijs, Hans Helder at @w-u-r.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We're hiring a plant pathologist! Looking for someone w/passion for diagnosing vegetable diseases & communicating results to clients. There's lots of other duties & opportunities. I also think it's a great lab 🤔☺️

Latest paper is out! We tested a push-pull strategy using verbenone to repel ambrosia beetles in eastern US apple orchards. Verbenone alone reduces migration at low populations, but EtOH is needed for high populations. @monique4ever.bsky.social

In 2018, we detected the Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) - our virus of the month - in 🇩🇪 for the first time. Today, it threatens tomato production worldwide. How did it spread so quickly? A thread 🧵👇

PNYDV’s 8-component genome isn’t static—it reassorts & recombines, allowing rapid adaptation. But just how flexible is it? Studies found among European nanoviruses diverse variants & hybrids. This could mean emerging new threats to crops! #PlantVirology

In 2023 I painted tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) symptoms.

Hey all! I’m looking for a virologist who would be willing to zoom with my virology class May 6 between 10-11:15 to give a talk on your work and take questions from 9 undergraduates. I’d make them read a paper of your choice in prep for your talk. Please share in virology circles! #microsky

First accepted manuscript of the year… another first-first author publication for the lab 🥳

@bossett.social Virus-caused symptoms on yellow squash. Likely watermelon mosaic virus (a potyvirus). This virus is primarily transmitted non-persistently by species of aphids and can affect most Cucurbit crops. Management involves planting resistant varieties, insecticides, and through avoidance
