Husson)); Alder decline caused by the Phytophthora alni complex is one of the most important diseases in natural ecosystems in Europe in the last 20 years. The emergence of Phytophthora alni subsp. alni (Paa), the pathogen responsible for the epidemics, is linked to an interspecific hybridization event between two parental species: Phytophthora alni subsp. multiformis (Pam) and Phytophthora alni subsp. uniformis (Pau). One of these parental species, Pau that has been isolated in several European countries and in North America, specifically in Alaska and Oregon, is exotic to Europe and a diploid species…
