New preprint🚨 Using a Bayesian hierarchical spatial model, we identify regions at higher risk of pest introductions in the EU & UK. 🌍🌱 Southern Europe & the Netherlands are in the spotlight! 🌱Check it out: shorturl.at/PjQNX #PlantHealth #SpatialAnalysis #Research #Pests

Very excited to be at British Society for Plant Pathology ‘s Plant Pathology conference for the next few days, and honoured to have been selected to give a talk on my PhD work in the PH Gregory Prize session today! #PPATH24

Hannah Fielder et al. present a synoptic review of scientific literature and CABI records published in 2022 to find evidence of major disease outbreaks and first reports of pathogens in new locations or hosts. CABI Imperial Life Sciences Nik Cunniffe doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO-…

Just presented at #IPRRG2024 on EFSA’s innovative tools for plant pest surveys! 🌱✨ Highlighted the new OptiPest tool, launched in July 2024, which optimizes survey efforts for multiple pests in the same crop. #PlantHealth #PestManagement #EFSA #OptiPest #RiPEST #IPRRG024

My talk at the Plant Pathology conference #PPATH24 won the PH Gregory Prize for best student talk! Thanks to British Society for Plant Pathology for organizing such a great conference

❓Why should models of non-persistent plant virus transmission include aphid vector dispersal & feeding behaviours? 🗣️ Explained by Elin Falla at today's @livunimaths Mathematical Biology seminar 📄 To find out more, see associated PLOS Comp Biol paper: doi.org/10.1371/journa…

My first first-author paper is out in PLOS Comp Biol! Read about why including aphid vector behavior is important for modelling NPT plant virus transmission, in particular when the virus is manipulating plant host phenotype: journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

Why aphid virus retention needs more attention: Modelling aphid behaviour and virus manipulation in non-persistent plant virus transmission doi.org/10.1371/journa…

The student will be working on predicting the evolution of fungicide resistance, combining experimental work in my lab at Niab, and modelling with Nik Cunniffe at @plantsci Cambridge University and Philip Madgwick and Ariane Le Gros at Syngenta.
