| Abstract: |
This article discusses the importance of genomic surveillance in studying pathogen invasions, using the example of the ash dieback invasion of Europe caused by Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. The ash dieback invasion has had significant economic and ecological impacts, and understanding the genetic variation within the pathogen is crucial for effective management strategies. The article highlights the significance of different types of genomic variation, such as nucleotide substitutions, haplotype diversity, and structural genomic variation, in invasion biology. The authors also discuss various genomic surveillance strategies, including targeted resequencing, whole genome resequencing, and pangenomics, and suggest the potential of air sequencing as a pathogen surveillance method.
