Title: Baseline Study of Virus Reservoirs in Native Plant Species and Crops

This video covers two important studies in plant health: the early detection of Phytophthora in EU and third-country nurseries and traded plants, along with a baseline study of virus reservoirs in native plant species and crops. The first part explores strategies to detect and prevent the spread of Phytophthora, a harmful pathogen, while the second focuses on identifying virus reservoirs in plants, highlighting their impact on crop health and disease transmission. Both studies provide valuable insights for improving plant protection and agricultural practices.
