                                Technical Abstract: Phytophthora ramorum is a recently emerged plant pathogen and causal agent of one of the most destructive and devastating diseases currently affecting US horticulture and forests. Formally described in 2001, P. ramorum is a filamentous, diploid protozoan that is one of 117 currently recognized Phytophthora species commonly known as water molds. This oomycete pathogen was first discovered in the mid 1990s, causing sudden oak death on coast live oak and tanoak and foliar blight on Rhododendron. It is now known to affect more than 100 plant species, including economically important nursery and forest host species. This book chapter reviews recent developments in studying the life cycle, genetics, genomics and evolution of this important plant pathogen.
