At early stages of tree decline, removing the bark reveals orange to reddish brown necrotic lesions in cambium tissue.\u00a0 A thin, dark delineated margin is evident at the junction of healthy tissue and the expanding lesion which, over time, turns dark brown as it gets colonized by secondary fungi and bacteria.\u00a0 Symptoms can extend through the root system resulting in a lack of fibrous and feeder roots.\u00a0 Crown lesions can extend to the primary roots and up to the graft union, while collar lesions can extend up to a meter up from the graft union.\u00a0 On dissection, collar infections may appear striped in the inner phloem tissue and, sometimes, result in weeping though cracked barked tissue (Cox, 2014).\u00a0\u00a0 <em>Phytophthora cactorum<\/em> also causes fruit rot in apple and pear, producing pale olive and dark brown lesions in apple and pear respectively.\u00a0 Those lesions are diffusely marbled or uniformly colored with softly delineated margins (Covey <em>et al.,<\/em> 2014).<\/p>\n<p>In Rhododendrons affected by <em>Phytophthora<\/em> root rot, roots become necrotic and leaves turn chlorotic, wilt, roll downwards parallel to the midrib, and eventually turn brown.\u00a0 In contrast, leaves of infected azalea become chlorotic, and then necrotic, but seldom wilt. Necrotic leaves eventually drop to the ground (Hoitink <em>et al<\/em>., 2014).<\/p>\n<p>Infected trees may develop cankers on the stem or near the soil line with discoloration of infected bark, sometimes extending into the internal tissues (CABI, 2017).<\/p>\n<p><em>Phytophthora cactorum<\/em> can cause crown rot and root rot of strawberries.\u00a0 Initial symptoms typically include plant stunting and small leaves.\u00a0 Later, infected plants may collapse rapidly or gradually.\u00a0 When cut open, brown discoloration of the crown vascular tissue or entire tissue is apparent.\u00a0 While other <em>Phytophthora<\/em> species may be involved, <em>P. cactorum <\/em>is the most common species on strawberry (Koike <em>et al<\/em>., 2008).\u00a0 Fruit is also infected by <em>P. cactorum<\/em> resulting in leather rot disease.\u00a0 On green fruit, symptoms appear as dark brown areas or green areas with brown margins.\u00a0 As the rot spreads, the entire fruit turns brown with a rough texture that appears leathery. Infected mature fruit may be slightly discolored or turn brown to dark purple.\u00a0 Internally, vascular tissue to each seed is darkened, and in later stages of decay mature fruit becomes leathery.\u00a0 Infected fruit have unpleasant odor and taste.\u00a0 Under moist conditions, white mycelial growth may be present on the surface of fruit.\u00a0 Green and mature fruit eventually become shriveled mummies (Ellis &amp; Madden, 1998).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Disease development<\/u>:<\/strong> <em>P. cactorum<\/em> can survive for several years, mainly as oospores (sexual spores) in soil and mummified fruit. The pathogen can also survive as chlamydospores (thick-walled asexual spores) (Erwin &amp; Ribeiro, 1996) in orchard soil or mycelium in host tissue (Cox, 2014).\u00a0 Similar to other <em>Phytophthora<\/em> spp., <em>P. cactorum<\/em> lives as a saprophyte in litter and in soil containing dead organic material and is favored by moist and moderate climates. In spring, and in saturated soil, oospores germinate to produce sporangia.\u00a0 In free water, zoospores are produced within sporangia and liberated into water.\u00a0 While oospores and chlamydospores form the primary inoculum, sporangia are the principal source of secondary inoculum (CABI, 2017).\u00a0 Free water is required for infection, however, a high incidence of disease can occur with as little as 2 hours or less of wetness at 17-25\u00b0C.\u00a0 Optimum temperature for infection is 21\u00b0C.\u00a0\u00a0 The most favorable temperatures for sporangia production are between 15 and 25\u00b0C, and optimally at 20\u00b0C.\u00a0 No sporangia are produced at 10 and 30\u00b0C (Ellis &amp; Madden, 1998).\u00a0\u00a0 Sporangia can germinate directly or indirectly by producing zoospores.\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 (CABI, 2017).<\/p>\n<p><em>Transmission:<\/em> Like most <em>Phytophthora<\/em> species, <em>P. cactorum<\/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 Under high moisture and windy conditions, sporangia may be airborne and important in spread of diseases such as leather rot of strawberry.\u00a0 The pathogen is not seed-borne but can be spread by infected seedlings and through soil or plant debris containing oospores or chlamydospores contaminating seed samples (CABI, 2017).\u00a0 Furthermore, irrigation water from canals, rivers, and ponds can be contaminated with <em>Phytophthora<\/em> spp. (Brown &amp; Mircetich, 1995).<\/p>\n<p><em>Damage Potential: <\/em>Specific crop losses caused by <em>Phytophthora cactorum <\/em>alone may be difficult to assess as more than one species of <em>Phytophthora<\/em> may cause diseases with symptoms similar to those caused by <em>P. cactorum<\/em> and may be present in infected hosts. Nevertheless, <em>P. cactorum<\/em> is a serious pathogen of a wide range of plant species. Infections of 88-97% apple and pear nursery stock material in commercial nurseries has been reported (Jeffers &amp; Aldwinckle, 1988), and <em>P. cactorum<\/em> has been frequently detected in several ornamental nurseries within California (Yakabe <em>et al<\/em>., 2009).\u00a0 Therefore, nurseries may be at risk and need to be monitored for this pathogen to ensure production and planting of disease-free nursery stock.<\/p>\n<p>California\u2019s native vegetation is also at risk of root and crown rot caused by <em>P. cactorum <\/em>and other <em>Phytophthora<\/em> spp., many of which are endemic (limited) to California, while some are rare, endangered, or threatened plants, <em>e.g., Ribes<\/em> spp. (currant\/gooseberry), Monterey cypress, and <em>Arctostaphylos<\/em> spp. (manzanita) (Calflora, 2017; CNPS, 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\u00a0 Detections on madrone, toyon, oaks, sticky monkeyflower, and manzanitas in native stands indicate that <em>P. cactorum<\/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.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Worldwide Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> <em>Asia<\/em>: China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Japan, Korea DPR, Republic of Korea, Laos, Lebanon, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Taiwan, Turkey, Vietnam;
