It is not resistant to drought.\u00a0 Optimum temperature range for growth is 22-24\u00b0C and maximum temperature (cessation of growth) is &gt;32\u00b0C (CABI, 2017).\u00a0 Jung <em>et al.,<\/em> (2016), reported the ability for <em>P. xcambivora<\/em> (= <em>P. cambivora<\/em>) to grow at temperatures greater that 35\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p>Sporangia and zoospores of <em>P. cambivora<\/em> in humid soils are the main source of infection.\u00a0 Sporangia are produced abundantly by young mycelia, which become sterile when they are more than 1 month old.\u00a0 <em>P. cambivora<\/em> produces sporangia from 9 to 30\u00b0C.\u00a0 Most sporangia are found on the ground surface in leaves, petals, or earthworm castings; within the upper 6 cm of soil, and near the crowns of trees (Cox, 2014).\u00a0 Sporangia can germinate directly or, more commonly in <em>P. cambivora<\/em>, indirectly by producing zoospores at 9-27\u00b0C.\u00a0 Zoospores allow a population to increase rapidly and disperse widely in films of free water. \u00a0Zoospores are expelled from sporangia under suitable temperature and moisture conditions and swim by means of their flagella towards their host in response to root exudates.\u00a0 Once a zoospore comes in contact with a root, it germinates producing a germ tube, which penetrates the root directly under waterlogged soil conditions.\u00a0 \u00a0More mycelium develops, and eventually, oospores (sexual spores) are produced, and serve as resting structures that can survive for several years.\u00a0 <em>Phytophthora cambivora<\/em> does not produce chlamydospores (thick-walled, asexual spores) (CABI, 2017).<\/p>\n<p><em>Transmission:<\/em> Like most <em>Phytophthora<\/em> species, <em>P. cambivora<\/em> is soil-borne and water-borne and may be spread to non-infected sites through infected plants, nursery and planting stock, and seedlings, soil, run-off and splash irrigation and rain water, and contaminated cultivation equipment, tools, and boots.\u00a0 The pathogen is not seed-borne but can be spread by infected seedlings (CABI, 2017).\u00a0 Irrigation water from canals, rivers, and ponds can be contaminated with <em>Phytophthora<\/em> spp. (Browne &amp; Mircetich, 1995).<\/p>\n<p><em>Damage Potential: <\/em>Damage caused by <em>Phytophthora cambivora<\/em> alone may be difficult to assess as more than one species of <em>Phytophthora<\/em> may be associated with root and crown rot of host trees (Mircetich &amp; Matherton, 1976).\u00a0 Loss of production of apple, cherry, noble fir Christmas trees have been reported from North America (CABI, 2017).\u00a0 Walnut, peach, plum and apricot are also susceptible to <em>P. cambivora<\/em> and other <em>Phytophthora<\/em> spp. \u00a0Nurseries, nursery stock and ornamental productions may be at risk and need to be monitored.<\/p>\n<p>California\u2019s native vegetation is also at risk of root and crown rot caused by <em>P. cambivora<\/em> and other <em>Phytophthora<\/em> spp., many of which are endemic (limited) to the State, while some are rare, endangered, or threatened plants, <em>e.g.,<\/em> pallid manzanita, Ione manzanita, sticky white leaf manzanita, valley oak, bristlecone fir, coffeeberry, <em>etc<\/em>. (CNPS, 2017; Calflora, 2017).\u00a0 Introduction of <em>Phytophthora<\/em> species are a threat to plant health in Bay Area restoration sites, where nursery stock is planted for flood control or to mitigate environmental impacts.\u00a0 \u00a0Detections on madrone, toyon, oaks, and manzanitas in native stands indicate that <em>P. cambivora<\/em> is capable of becoming established in a variety of native plant habitats under a range of soil and environmental conditions and can have negative impacts on native vegetation <em>(comments from S.
