Abstract
Phytophthora capsici is a destructive oomycete pathogen of vegetable, ornamental, and tropical crops. First described by L.H. Leonian in 1922 as a pathogen of pepper in New Mexico, USA, P. capsici is now widespread in temperate and tropical countries alike. Phytophthora capsici is notorious for its capability to evade disease management strategies. High genetic diversity allows P. capsici populations to overcome fungicides and host resistance, the formation of oospores results in long-term persistence in soils, zoospore differentiation in the presence of water increases epidemic potential, and a broad host range maximizes economic losses and limits the effectiveness of crop rotation. The severity of disease caused by P. capsici and management challenges have led to numerous research efforts in the past 100 years. Here, we discuss recent findings regarding the biology, genetic diversity, disease management, fungicide resistance, host resistance, genomics, and effector biology of P. capsici.

Abstract
In 1922, Phytophthora capsici was described by Leon Hatching Leonian as a new pathogen infecting pepper (Capsicum annuum), with disease symptoms of root rot, stem and fruit blight, seed rot, and plant wilting and death. Extensive research has been conducted on P. capsici over the last 100 years. This review succinctly describes the salient mile markers of research on P. capsici with current perspectives on the pathogen's distribution, economic importance, epidemiology, genetics and genomics, fungicide resistance, host susceptibility, pathogenicity mechanisms, and management.

Abstract
The genus Phytophthora, with 326 species in 12 phylogenetic clades currently known, includes many economically important pathogens of woody plants. Different Phytophthora species often possess a hemibiotrophic or necrotrophic lifestyle, have either a broad or narrow host range, can cause a variety of disease symptoms (root rot, damping-off, bleeding stem cankers, or blight of foliage), and occur in different growing environments (nurseries, urban and agricultural areas, or forests). Here, we summarize the available knowledge on the occurrence, host range, symptoms of damage, and aggressiveness of different Phytophthora species associated with woody plants in Nordic countries with a special emphasis on Sweden. We evaluate the potential risks of Phytophthora species to different woody plants in this geographical area and emphasize the increasing threats associated with continued introduction of invasive Phytophthora species.

Abstract
Phytophthora capsici epidemics are propelled by warm temperatures and wet conditions. With temperatures and inland flooding in many locations worldwide expected to rise as a result of global climate change, understanding of population structure can help to inform management of P. capsici in the field and prevent devastating epidemics. Thus, we investigated the effect of host crop, geographical origin, fungicide sensitivity, and mating type on shaping the population structure of P. capsici in the eastern United States. Our fungicide in vitro assays identified the emergence of insensitive isolates for fluopicolide and mefenoxam. A set of 12 microsatellite markers proved informative to assign 157 P. capsici isolates to five distinct genetic clusters. Implementation of Bayesian structure, population differentiation, genetic diversity statistics, and index of association analysis, allowed us to identify population structure by host with some correspondence with genetic clusters for cucumber and squash isolates. We found weak population structure by state for geographically close isolates. In this study, we discovered that North Carolina populations stratify by fluopicolide sensitivity with insensitive isolates experiencing nonrandom mating. Our findings highlight the need for careful monitoring of local field populations, improved selection of relevant isolates for breeding efforts, and hypervigilant surveillance of resistance to different fungicides.

Sympatric occurrence of sibling Phytophthora species associated with foot rot disease of black pepper in India. Braz J Microbiol 2022; 53:801-818.

Abstract
Foot rot disease caused by Phytophthora capsici is a serious threat to black pepper cultivation in India and globally. High diversity exists among the Phytophthora isolates of black pepper and hence detailed investigations of their morphology and phylogenetic taxonomy were carried out in the present study. In order to resolve the diversity, 182 isolates of Phytophthora, collected from different black pepper-growing tracts of South India during 1998-2013 and maintained in the National Repository of Phytophthora at ICAR-Indian Institute of Spices Research, Kozhikode, were subjected to morphological, molecular and phylogenetic characterization. Morphologically all the isolates were long pedicellate with umbellate/simple sympodial sporangiophores and papillate sporangia with l/b ranging from 1.63 to 2.55 µm. Maximum temperature for the growth was ~ 34 °C. Chlamydospores were observed in "tropicalis" group, whereas they were absent in "capsici" group. Initial molecular studies using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) marker gene showed two clear cut lineages-"capsici-like" and "tropicalis-like" groups among them. Representative isolates from each group were subjected to host differential test, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and phylogeny studies. MLST analysis of seven nuclear genes (60S ribosomal protein L10, beta-tubulin, elongation factor 1 alpha, enolase, heat shock protein 90, 28S ribosomal DNA and TigA gene fusion protein) clearly delineated black pepper Phytophthora isolates into two distinct species-P. capsici and P. tropicalis. On comparing with type strains from ATCC, it was found that the type strains of P. capsici and P. tropicalis differed from black pepper isolates in their infectivity on black pepper. The high degree of genetic polymorphism observed in black pepper Phytophthora isolates is an indication of the selection pressure they are subjected to in the complex habitat which ultimately may lead to speciation. So based on the extensive analysis, it is unambiguously proved that the foot rot disease of black pepper in India is predominantly caused by two species of Phytophthora, viz. P. capsici and P. tropicalis. Presence of multiple species of Phytophthora in the black pepper agro-ecosystem warrants a revisit to the control strategy being adopted for managing this serious disease. The silent molecular evolution taking place in such an ecological niche needs to be critically studied for the sustainable management of foot rot disease.

Abstract
Phytophthora capsici is a devastating oomycete that affects solanaceous, cucurbitaceous, fabaceous, and other crops in the United States (US) and worldwide. The release of the P. capsici genome allows for design of robust markers for genetic studies. We identified and characterized microsatellites in the P. capsici transcriptome. A subset of 50 microsatellites were assayed in a diverse set of P. capsici isolates and evaluated for polymorphism. Polymorphic microsatellites were confirmed by fragment analysis, and 12 were used for population characterization of 50 P. capsici isolates from different states, hosts, and mating types. Analysis of genetic relationship among isolates revealed significant geographic structure by state. Our findings highlight the usefulness of these 12 microsatellites to characterize the population structure of P. capsici and potential transferability to closely-related Phytophthora spp. since markers are located in coding regions. Our markers will facilitate genetic characterization and complement phenotypic studies of P. capsici populations, which may assist in deployment of disease management strategies.

Abstract
Oomycetes are a diverse group of eukaryotes in terrestrial, limnic and marine habitats worldwide and include several devastating plant pathogens, for example Phytophthora infestans (potato late blight). The cytochrome c oxidase subunit 2 gene (cox2) has been widely used for identification, taxonomy and phylogeny of various oomycete groups. However, recently the cox1 gene was proposed as a DNA barcode marker instead, together with ITS rDNA. The cox1 locus has been used in some studies of Pythium and Phytophthora, but has rarely been used for other oomycetes, as amplification success of cox1 varies with different lineages and sample ages. To determine which out of cox1 or cox2 is best suited as a universal oomycete barcode, we compared these two genes in terms of (i) PCR efficiency for 31 representative genera, as well as for historic herbarium specimens, and (ii) sequence polymorphism, intra- and interspecific divergence. The primer sets for cox2 successfully amplified all oomycete genera tested, while cox1 failed to amplify three genera. In addition, cox2 exhibited higher PCR efficiency for historic herbarium specimens, providing easier access to barcoding-type material. Sequence data for several historic type specimens exist for cox2, but there are none for cox1. In addition, cox2 yielded higher species identification success, with higher interspecific and lower intraspecific divergences than cox1. Therefore, cox2 is suggested as a partner DNA barcode along with ITS rDNA instead of cox1. The cox2-1 spacer could be a useful marker below species level. Improved protocols and universal primers are presented for all genes to facilitate future barcoding efforts.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to develop a procedure that could be used to evaluate the potential susceptibility of aquatic plants used in constructed wetlands to species of Phytophthora commonly found in nurseries. V8 agar plugs from actively growing cultures of three or four isolates of Phytophthora cinnamomi, P. citrophthora, P. cryptogea, P. nicotianae, and P. palmivora were used to produce inocula. In a laboratory experiment, plugs were placed in plastic cups and covered with 1.5% nonsterile soil extract solution (SES) for 29 days, and zoospore presence and activity in the solution were monitored at 2- or 3-day intervals with a rhododendron leaf disk baiting bioassay. In a greenhouse experiment, plugs of each species of Phytophthora were placed in plastic pots and covered with either SES or Milli-Q water for 13 days during both summer and winter months, and zoospore presence in the solutions were monitored at 3-day intervals with the baiting bioassay and by filtration. Zoospores were present in solutions throughout the 29-day and 13-day experimental periods but consistency of zoospore release varied by species. In the laboratory experiment, colonization of leaf baits decreased over time for some species and often varied among isolates within a species. In the greenhouse experiment, bait colonization decreased over time in both summer and winter, varied among species of Phytophthora in the winter, and was better in Milli-Q water. Zoospore densities in solutions were greater in the summer than in the winter. Decreased zoospore activities for some species of Phytophthora were associated with prolonged temperatures below 13 or above 30°C in the greenhouse. Zoospores from plugs were released consistently in aqueous solutions for at least 13 days. This procedure can be used to provide in situ inocula for the five species of Phytophthora used in this study so that aquatic plant species can be evaluated for potential susceptibility.

Abstract
Prior to 2011, foliar blight was not reported as a serious threat to hot pepper cultivation in India. During the June-to-January cropping season of 2011 and 2012, severe foliar blight epidemics were observed in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu states of India. In all, 52 Phytophthora isolates, recovered from blight-affected leaf tissues of hot pepper from different localities in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu states between 2011 and 2012, were identified: 43 isolates as P. boehmeriae and 9 isolates as P. capsici, based on morphology, a similarity search of internal transcribed spacer sequences at GenBank, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns, and species-specific PCR using PC1/PC2 and PB1/PB2 primer pairs. The isolates were further assessed for metalaxyl sensitivity and aggressiveness on hot pepper. All isolates of P. boehmeriae were metalaxyl sensitive while P. capsici isolates were intermediate in sensitivity. P. boehmeriae isolates were highly aggressive and produced significantly (P < 0.01) larger lesion than those of P. capsici isolates. Thus, emergence of P. boehmeriae was responsible for severe leaf blight epidemics on hot pepper in South India, although it is not serious pathogen on any crop in any part of the world. These results have epidemiological and management implications for the production of hot pepper in India.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phytophthora is the most important genus of the Oomycete plant pathogens. Nowadays, there are 117 described species in this genus, most of them being primary invaders of plant tissues. The different species are causal agents of diseases in a wide range of crops and plants in natural environments. In order to develop control strategies against Phytophthoraspecies, it is important to know the biology, ecology and evolutionary processes of these important pathogens. AIMS The aim of this study was to propose and validate a low cost identification system for Phytophthora species based on a set of polymorphic microsatellite (SSRs) markers. METHODS Thirty-three isolates representing Phytophthora infestans, Phytophthora andina, Phytophthora sojae, Phytophthora cryptogea, Phytophthora nicotianae, Phytophthora capsici and Phytophthora cinnamomi species were obtained, and 13 SSRs were selected as potentially transferable markers between these species. Amplification conditions, including annealing temperatures, were standardized for several markers. RESULTS A subset of these markers amplified in all species, showing species-specific alleles. CONCLUSIONS The adaptability and impact of the identification system in Colombia, an Andean agricultural country where different Phytophthora species co-exist in the same or in several hosts grown together, are discussed.

Abstract
Since L. H. Leonian's first description of Phytophthora capsici as a pathogen of chile pepper in 1922, we have made many advances in our understanding of this pathogen's biology, host range, dissemination, and management. P. capsici causes foliar blighting, damping-off, wilting, and root, stem, and fruit rot of susceptible hosts, and economic losses are experienced annually in vegetable crops including cucurbits and peppers. Symptoms of P. capsici infection may manifest as stunting, girdling, or cankers for some cultivars or crops that are less susceptible. P. capsici continues to be a constraint on production, and implementation of an aggressive integrated management scheme can still result in insufficient control when weather is favorable for disease. Management of diseases caused by P. capsici is currently limited by the long-term survival of the pathogen as oospores in the soil, a wide host range, long-distance movement of the pathogen in surface water used for irrigation, the presence of fungicide-resistant pathogen populations, and a lack of commercially acceptable resistant host varieties. P. capsici can infect a wide range of hosts under laboratory and greenhouse conditions including cultivated crops, ornamentals, and native plants belonging to diverse plant families. As our understanding of P. capsici continues to grow, future research should focus on developing novel and effective solutions to manage this pathogen and prevent economic losses due to the diseases it causes.

Abstract
With the increased attention given to the genus Phytophthora in the last decade in response to the ecological and economic impact of several invasive species (such as P. ramorum, P. kernoviae, and P. alni), there has been a significant increase in the number of described species. In part, this is due to the extensive surveys in historically underexplored ecosystems (e.g., forest and stream ecosystems) undertaken to determine the spread of invasive species and the involvement of Phytophthora species in forest decline worldwide (e.g., oak decline). The past decade has seen an approximate doubling in the number of described species within the genus Phytophthora, and the number will likely continue to increase as more surveys are completed and greater attention is devoted to clarifying phylogenetic relationships and delineating boundaries in species complexes. The development of molecular resources, the availability of credible sequence databases to simplify identification of new species, and the sequencing of several genomes have provided a solid framework to gain a better understanding of the biology, diversity, and taxonomic relationships within the genus. This information is much needed considering the impact invasive or exotic Phytophthora species have had on natural ecosystems and the regulatory issues associated with their management. While this work is improving our ability to identify species based on phylogenetic grouping, it has also revealed that the genus has a much greater diversity than previously appreciated.

Abstract
To determine variation within Phytophthora capsici, 124 P. capsici isolates from 12 countries were characterized for sporangial length and width, pedicle length, oospore diameter, sporangia and chlamydospore production, and growth at 32, 35, and 38°C. Sporangia were 23 to 35 μm wide and 38 to 60 μm long; differences in width and length were noted when isolates were grouped by genetic cluster and continent of origin. Length:breadth ratio (1.34 to 2.07) and pedicle length (20 to 260 μm long) varied widely among isolates; differences were apparent by continent and host family of origin. Oospore diameters varied among isolates (22 to 37 μm), but no differences were noted by isolate genetic cluster, host family of origin, continent of origin, mating type, or sensitivity to mefenoxam. Differences in sporangia production were observed among isolates grouped by continent, and isolates from nonvegetable hosts produced fewer sporangia than isolates from vegetable hosts. When cultures were incubated in a liquid medium, 35 P. capsici isolates formed chlamydospores. Most (122 of 124) of the isolates were able to grow at 35°C, but all of the isolates grew poorly at 38°C. The results of this study indicate substantial variation in morphological and physiological characteristics among P. capsici isolates.

Abstract
Phytophthora capsici Leonian is a destructive soilborne pathogen that infects economically important solanaceous, cucurbitaceous, fabaceous, and other crops in the United States and worldwide. The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic structure of 255 P. capsici isolates assigned to predefined host, geographical, mefenoxam-sensitivity, and mating-type categories. Isolates from six continents, 21 countries, 19 U.S. states, and 26 host species were genotyped for four mitochondrial and six nuclear loci. Bayesian clustering revealed some population structure by host, geographic origin, and mefenoxam sensitivity, with some clusters occurring more or less frequently in particular categories. Bayesian clustering, split networks, and statistical parsimony genealogies also detected the presence of non-P. capsici individuals in our sample corresponding to P. tropicalis (n = 9) and isolates of a distinct cluster closely related to P. capsici and P. tropicalis (n = 10). Our findings of genetic structuring in P. capsici populations highlight the importance of including isolates from all detected clusters that represent the genetic variation in P. capsici for development of diagnostic tools, fungicides, and host resistance. The population structure detected will also impact the design and interpretation of association studies in P. capsici. This study provides an initial map of global population structure of P. capsici but continued genotyping of isolates will be necessary to expand our knowledge of genetic variation in this important plant pathogen.

Abstract
Endophytic Trichoderma isolates collected in tropical environments were evaluated for biocontrol activity against Phytophthora capsici in hot pepper (Capsicum annuum). Six isolates were tested for parasitic and antimicrobial activity against P. capsici and for endophytic and induced resistance capabilities in pepper. Isolates DIS 70a, DIS 219b, and DIS 376f were P. capsici parasites, while DIS 70a, DIS 259j, DIS 320c, and DIS 376f metabolites inhibited P. capsici. All six isolates colonized roots but were inefficient stem colonizers. DIS 259j, DIS 320c, and DIS 376f induced defense-related expressed sequence tags (EST) in 32-day-old peppers. DIS 70a, DIS 259j, and DIS 376f delayed disease development. Initial colonization of roots by DIS 259j or DIS 376f induced EST with potential to impact Trichoderma endophytic colonization and disease development, including multiple lipid transferase protein (LTP)-like family members. The timing and intensity of induction varied between isolates. Expression of CaLTP-N, encoding a LTP-like protein in pepper, in N. benthamiana leaves reduced disease development in response to P. nicotianae inoculation, suggesting LTP are functional components of resistance induced by Trichoderma species. Trichoderma isolates were endophytic on pepper roots in which, depending on the isolate, they delayed disease development by P. capsici and induced strong and divergent defense reactions.

Abstract
The Himalaya have received little investigation for Phytophthora species. In a remote forest in Western Nepal ten isolates of an unknown Phytophthora were recovered from the rhizosphere of Quercus, Castanopsis, Carpinus and Cupressus spp. The Phytophthora, formally named here as a P. himalsilva sp. nov., is homothallic with either amphigynous or paragynous antheridia and papillate, highly variable sporangia which may also be facultatively caducous. Based on ITS, β-tubulin, and cox I sequences Phytophthora himalsilva falls within Phytophthora Clade 2c together with Phytophthora citrophthora, Phytophthora meadii, Phytophthora colocasiae, and Phytophthora botryosa. It is suggested that Clade 2c has radiated within Asia. Molecular and sporangial characters indicate that P. himalsilva and P. citrophthora may share a recent common ancestor although they have diverged in their breeding systems. Although highly local the P. himalsilva isolates exhibited significant variation in growth rates and optimum temperatures for growth. This may reflect adaptation to different niches within a heterogeneous sub-tropical to temperate forest environment. Their cox I polymorphisms were also rather variable, including possible clustering for subsite. The occurrence of a previously unknown Phytophthora in a remote forest in Nepal highlights once again the plant health risk associated with moving rooted plants and soil between different bio-geographical regions of the world and the need for rapid pathological screening of potential risk organisms.

Abstract
A simple and rapid DNA extraction protocol capable of obtaining high-quality and quantity DNA from a large number of individuals is essential for assaying population and phylogenetic studies of plant pathogens. Most DNA extraction protocols used with oomycetes are relatively lengthy and cumbersome for high throughput analysis. Commercial kits are widely used, but low quantities of DNA are usually obtained, and with large scale analysis multiple isolations are required. A protocol for DNA isolation from Phytophthora and Pythium suitable for the evaluation of a large set of molecular markers was modified from one previously developed for soybean seed. There was a one to three fold increase in the amount of DNA that was extracted using the modified protocol compared to a commercial kit. The DNA obtained using the modified protocol was suitable for the amplification of microsatellite markers as well as the ITS region. This protocol is inexpensive, easy, quick, and efficient in terms of the volume of reagents and the number of steps involved in the procedure. The method may be applicable to other oomycetes and effectively implemented in other laboratories.

Abstract
Environmentally compatible control measures are needed for suppression of Phytophthora capsici on pepper. Twenty-three isolates of Trichoderma were screened for suppression of a mixture of 4 genetically distinct isolates of this pathogen on bell pepper (Capsicum anuum) in greenhouse pot assays. Of these 23 isolates, GL12, GL13, and Th23 provided significant suppression of P. capsici in at least 2 assays. These isolates were then compared with Trichoderma virens isolates GL3 and GL21 for suppression of this disease in the presence and absence of the harpin-based natural product Messenger. Isolates GL3 and Th23 provided significant disease suppression (P ≤ 0.05) in 3 of 4 assays, while GL12, GL13, and GL21 provided significant suppression in 2 of 4 assays. There was no apparent benefit from the application of Messenger. Phylogenetic analysis of these 5 isolates (based on the ITS1 region of the nuclear rDNA cluster and tef1), and an additional 9 isolates that suppressed P. capsici in at least 1 assay, separated isolates into 2 clades, with 1 clade containing GL3, GL12, GL13, and GL21. There were also 2 more distantly related isolates, one of which was Th23. We report here the identification of genetically distinct Trichoderma isolates for potential use in disease management strategies employing isolate combinations directed at suppression of P. capsici on pepper.

Abstract
One hundred fifty-three isolates of Phytophthora nicotianae that were collected over a 4-year period from a single field were subjected to amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis to investigate the effect of different types of resistance in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) on genetic diversity in the pathogen population. No race 1 isolates were detected in the field prior to initiating the study, but the race was present in multiple plots by the end of the 4-year period. There were 102 race 0 isolates and 51 race 1 isolates characterized. Seventy-six of the 153 isolates had a unique AFLP profile, whereas the remaining 77 isolates were represented by 27 AFLP profiles shared by at least two isolates. Isolates of both races were found in both the unique and shared AFLP profile groups. Twenty-three of the AFLP profiles were detected in multiple years, indicating a clonal component to the pathogen population. Race 1 isolates that were detected over multiple years were always obtained from the same plot. No race 1 profile was found in more than one plot, confirming the hypothesis that the multiple occurrences of the race throughout the field were the result of independent events and not pathogen spread. Three identical race 0 AFLP profiles occurred in noncontiguous plots, and in each case, the plots contained the same partially resistant variety. Cluster analysis provided a high level of bootstrap support for 41 isolates in 19 clusters that grouped primarily by race and rotation treatment. Estimates of genetic diversity ranged from 0.365 to 0.831 and varied depending on tobacco cultivar planted and race. When averaged over all treatments, diversity in race 1 isolates was lower than in race 0 isolates at the end of each season. Deployment of single-gene resistance initially decreased genetic diversity of the population, but the diversity increased each year, indicating the pathogen was adapting to the host genotypes deployed in the field.

Abstract
Phytophthora ramorum (oomycetes) is the causal agent of sudden oak death and ramorum blight on trees, shrubs, and woody ornamentals in the forests of coastal California and southwestern Oregon and in nurseries of California, Oregon, and Washington. In this study, we investigated the genetic structure of P. ramorum on the West Coast of the United States, focusing particularly on population differentiation potentially indicative of gene flow. In total, 576 isolates recovered from 2001 to 2005 were genotyped at 10 microsatellite loci. Our analyses of genetic diversity and inferences of reproductive mode confirm previous results for the Oregon and California populations, with the strong majority of the genotypes belonging to the NA1 clonal lineage and showing no evidence for sexual reproduction. The high incidence of genotypes shared among populations and the lack of genetic structure among populations show that important large-scale, interpopulation genetic exchanges have occurred. This emphasizes the importance of human activity in shaping the current structure of the P. ramorum population on the West Coast of the United States.

Abstract
Phytophthora capsici and the closely related Phytophthora tropicalis infect different hosts that have documented overlapping geographical distributions. Phytophthora capsici attacks annual vegetable hosts whereas P. tropicalis has been recovered from woody perennial hosts. Our objective was to test whether interspecific hybridization is possible and to characterize the resulting progeny. Crosses were made between P. capsici (LT263) from pumpkin to P. tropicalis from rhododendron (LT232) and to P. tropicalis from Theobroma cacao (LT12). The wild type isolates were analyzed for mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence diversity and progeny were tested for mating type (MT), AFLP marker profiles and mitochondrial DNA haplotype (mtDNA type). All oospore progeny from LT263 x LT12 were identical to LT263 whereas progeny from LT263 x LT232 were parental as well as hybrid. Hybrid progeny had either one or the other parent mtDNA type and there was no correlation between MT and mtDNA type. Attempts to generate an F2 population from the hybrids proved unsuccessful while a backcross to the P. capsici parent produced hybrid progeny. These results demonstrate that apomixis might play a significant role in species separation and that hybridization between P. capsici and P. tropicalis is possible beyond the F1 generation.

Abstract
Nucleic acid–based (NA-based) detection techniques are becoming fundamental for the applied plant pathologist. Their speed, sensitivity, specificity, versatility have resulted in the use of these tools to address an increasing number of applied questions and hypotheses. In order to use based detection techniques to best advantage, it is important to recognize only their advantages but also their limitations, such as the possibility particular NA-based tests may not have complete specificity for the of interest and only for that organism. The distinction between detection and disease diagnosis must also be recognized, and we believe NA-based tools are techniques for the former and not the latter. Several pathogen detection technologies are also discussed.
