A global surveillance system for crop diseases: global preparedness minimizes the risk to food supplies por Carvajal-Yepes, Mónica, Cardwell, K., Nelson, A., Garrett, K. A., Giovani, B., Saunders, Diane G.O., Kamoun, S., Legg, James P., Verdier, Valerie M., Lessel, J., Neher, R. A., Day, R., Pardey, Philip G., Gullino, Maria Lodovica, Records, Angela R., Bextine, B., Leach, Jan E., Staiger Rivas, Simone, Tohme, Joseph M.

“…Worldwide, yield losses caused by pests and diseases are estimated to average 21.5% in wheat, 30.0% in rice, 22.6% in maize, 17.2% in potato, and 21.4% in soybean (1); these crops account for half of the global human calorie intake (2). Climate change and global trade drive the distribution, host range, and impact of plant diseases (3), many of which can spread or reemerge after having been under control (4). …”
