  • fungus infecting elm trees
  • caused one of the first pandemics of the species...caused 10-40% death of genus Ulmus
  • Lead
    It has been determined that Ophiostoma ulmi and Ophiostoma novo-ulmi have evolved separately from each other in different regions of the world though it has been thought that novo-ulmi has obtained genes from Ophiostoma ulmi making it a more effective pathogen for Elm trees.
