Distribution Maps of Plant Diseases
CAB International, together with our partner, the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization, have been publishing the Maps for over 60 years. From their conception, recognising the need for accurate data on the distribution of plant diseases and pests of economic or quarantine importance, the Distribution Maps have been the authoritative source for this vitally important global geographic information. We have now published over 1000 Disease Maps and they can be browsed, searched and used via this site.
