Forest Disease Biology, Ecology and Epidemiology (this is not a self-paced course)

February 16 – 27, 2026

This course will explore the various biological characteristics and life cycles of the different groups of forest pathogens. The environmental variables that are conducive to disease development will be studied to develop an understanding of the conditions that can lead to forest disease outbreaks. The drivers of disease epidemics will be examined, including factors that are impacted by climate change.
