  • Select activity Description

    This lecture explores how the invasion framework can be applied to manage the spread of alien pathogens, using canker stain disease of plane trees (Ceratocystis platani) as a case study. It examines the stages of pathogen introduction, establishment, and spread, and highlights how understanding these processes informs risk assessment and management strategies. The talk emphasizes practical measures such as early detection, quarantine, sanitation, and coordinated interventions to limit disease impact in urban and natural forests.
