title: The origin and spread of the new daisy rust in Britain.
abstract: Since 1997, wild and cultivated daisies in Britain and other European countries have been suffering from a rust fungus epidemic that menaces the future cultivation of horticultural varieties. The causal fungus was first discovered in Australia 100 years ago and may have evolved there from another rust fungus on daisies previously introduced from Europe. At present, ornamental daisies can be grown successfully only when protected by fungicide sprays.
