Recent changes in the population structure of Pseudoperonospora cubensis have led to increased epidemics of cucurbit downy mildew, especially on cucumbers, requiring new management approaches.
Host specificity and reduced effectiveness of fungicides pose challenges to controlling this disease, emphasizing the need for improved strategies rooted in pathogen biology and epidemiology.
Network analysis has identified key locations in the eastern United States critical for monitoring disease outbreaks, supporting more effective control measures during the growing season.
Lineage-specific biosurveillance using spore traps is enhancing disease monitoring efforts and enabling precision management of cucurbit crops at risk of infection.
