On the hunt for the alternate host of Hemileia vastatrix [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Coffee leaf rust (CLR), caused by the fungal pathogen Hemileia vastatrix, has plagued coffee production worldwide for over 150 years. Hemileia vastatrix produces urediniospores, teliospores, and the sexual basidiospores.
