Abstract

Myrtle rust is associated with more than 480 host species belonging to the Myrtaceae family, including economically important genera, such as Eucalyptus, Metrosideros, Angophora, Syzygium, and Psidium, and native plant species that are part of forest biodiversity in several countries. This disease is caused by Austropuccinia psidii (G. Winter) Beenken, 2017 (synonym Puccinia psidii (G. Winter), 1884). In this publication, we provide methods for myrtle rust diagnosis and manipulation of the pathogen in field and laboratory conditions.
