Plant disease epidemics often transcend land management boundaries, creating a
collective-action problem where a group must cooperate in a common effort to maximize …

Plant diseases caused by viruses share many common features with those caused by other
pathogen taxa in terms of the host–pathogen interaction, but there are also distinctive …

CONTEXT When emerging pathogens threaten global food security, collective action for
disease management is key for protecting food systems. We evaluate how the informal …

Plant pathogens respond to selection pressures exerted by disease management strategies.
This can lead to fungicide resistance and/or the breakdown of disease-resistant cultivars …

Population-scale effects of resistant or tolerant crop varieties have received little
consideration from epidemiologists. When growers deploy tolerant crop, population-scale …

Methods for causal inference from observational data are common in human disease
epidemiology and social sciences but are used relatively little in plant pathology. We draw …

The threat of emerging plant diseases has become more frequent as global warming and
international trade are increasing. Blackleg and soft rot of potatoes caused by the group of …

An individual grower's response to pests and diseases in their vineyard can have
consequences for an entire growing region. Collective action strategies can help align …

Previous models of growers' decision‐making during epidemics have unrealistically limited
disease management choices to just two options. Here, we expand previous game‐theoretic …

This paper is part of a special issue on Behavioural Epidemiology. Historically, responses to
health-related emergencies (whether public health, veterinary health or plant health related) …
