Peronospora aquilegiicola made its way to Germany: The start of a new pandemic?
Peronospora aquilegiicola made its way to Germany: The start of a new pandemic?
Abstract
Peronospora aquilegiicola is a destructive pathogen of columbines and has wiped out most Aquilegia cultivars in several private
and public gardens throughout Britain. The pathogen, which is native to East Asia was noticed in England and Wales in 2013 and
quickly spread through the country, probably by infested plants or seeds. To our knowledge, the pathogen has so far not been
reported from other parts of Europe. Here, we report the emergence of the pathogen in the northwest of Germany, based on
morphological and phylogenetic evidence. As the pathogen was found in a garden in which no new columbines had been planted
recently, we assume that the pathogen has already spread from its original point of introduction in Germany. This calls for an
increased attention to the further spread of the pathogen and the eradication of infection spots to avoid the spread to naturally
occurring columbines in Germany and to prevent another downy mildew from becoming a global threat, like Peronospora
belbahrii and Plasmopara destructor, the downy mildews of basil and balsamines, respectively.
