“AlienInvasiveSpeciesandInternationalTrade”whichwasheldinPoland,3-7July,2006
intheEcologicalEducationandEuropeanIntegrationCentreofStateForests,inJedlnia.
Themeetingwasattendedbyover60delegatesfrom18countriesrepresentingboththe
northernandsouthernhemispheres.OneofthepurposesofthisnewIUFROUnitistoen-

and, to this end, the programme included consideration of a wide range of biotic agents,
principallyinvertebratesandtreepathogens,thatcouldbeclassifiedasAIS.
Aspresentedinthisbook,thepapersareorganisedintofourmaintopics:
•AlieninvasivespeciesinEurope,
•Worldecologicalimpact,
•Detectionandpolicy,
•Preventionmeasuresandtreatments.
There is a broad range of scientific topics presented and discussed ranging from the
damage caused by Phytophthora species, through analysis of pathways for international
movementofpestsandpathogens,totheimplicationsofscientificfindingsforpolicyand
regulatoryframeworks.

HISTORYANDSYMPTOMSOFPHYTOPHTHORAROOT
ANDCOLLARROTOFALDERS
In1993apreviouslyunknownlethalrootandcollarrotdiseaseofcommonalder
(Alnus glutinosa) was recorded in southern Britain. It occurred mainly along
riverbanks, but also in orchard shelterbelts and woodland plantations (Gibbs et al.
1999).Inthefollowingyearsthediseasewasalsofoundongreyalder(A.incana)and
Italianalder(A.cordata),andinGermany,France,Ireland,Sweden,theNetherlands,
Belgium, Austria, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia and Italy (Hartmann 1995;
Gibbsetal.1999,2003;Jung&Blaschke2003,2004,2006;Oszako2005,Szabóetal.
2000;Streitoetal.2002;Brasier&Jung2003).Thecausalorganismwasidentifiedasa

asanewspecies,Phytophthoraalnisp.nov.,whichcomprises3subspecies(Brasieret
