PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE:
 This research symposium is designed to bring together the broad array of the scientific community from throughout the world working on Phytophthora ramorum and the phenomena popularly known as "Sudden Oak Death." The goal is to provide a scientific overview on the state of our knowledge about Sudden Oak Death in forest, woodland, urban forestry, and agricultural settings. The symposium will provide not only completed research studies, but updates on current projects underway. It is anticipated that this broad overview will foster closer cooperation between the various disciplines and geographic areas working on this disease, and inform managers and policy makers about the focus of current research efforts. The symposium will coincide with the next general meeting of the California Oak Mortality Task Force (COMTF).
