Did You Know?

In this section of the course web site you can find interesting information on how plant diseases have impacted societies historically, and also see examples of how current plant disease epidemics are affecting mankind today. If you know of examples of new or old plant disease epidemics that have significant impacts, and think they would be of interest to potential students, or if you would like to see more information about a certain disease, feel free to contact me at david_shew@ncsu.edu.
