4.2 <strong>Phytophthora</strong> kernoviae<br />

Like P. <strong>ramorum</strong>, the principal host of P. kernoviae is Rhododendron, mainly R. ponticum although<br />

laboratory tests indicate that Vaccinium myrtillus is also highly susceptible. In addition to English oak<br />

<strong>and</strong> beech, a number of other native tree species are also known to be susceptible to P. kernoviae.<br />

Table 2 provides a listing of recorded natural hosts of P. kernoviae. Up-to-date host listings can be<br />

found at: www.defra.gov.uk/planth/kernovii/kernhost.pdf. Particular attention should be paid to<br />

these when monitoring <strong>and</strong> undertaking inspections.<br />
