Very excited to see this work published and proud of all the hard work by our graduate students on this project! We applied high-resolution shotgun metagenomics and modeling to link pathogen diversity and climatic shifts to inform how bacterial disease plays out in the field. doi.org/10.1111/mec....
Interaction Between Climatic Variation and Pathogen Diversity Shape Endemic Disease Dynamics in the Agricultural Settings
Endemic pathogens continue to pose threats of recurring outbreaks, especially in agricultural settings. How these outbreaks unfold and what drives the variability in disease epidemics is less underst....

New in Mol. Ecol.: integrating multiple data and methods, we show how seasonal fluctuations in pathogen strain composition, diversity and their climate-influenced fitness play a significant role in shaping severity and variability of bacterial disease outbreaks doi.org/10.1111/mec.... #PlantHealth

Very excited that this work is out now. Interesting to find short-term (within single season) changes in the pathogen population as it adapts to the resistant cultivar and under altered climatic conditions.
Curious about how pathogen responds to host resistance and climate change simultaneously?

Elevated O3 increases Xanthomonas diversity and severity on resistant peppers, complicating climate-driven pathogen evolution predictions.
