Cover Story: The globalization of the agricultural sector has led to the constant movement of plants worldwide, propelling pathogen dissemination outside their natural ecosystems. Emergent pathogens are constantly arising, imposing a relentless need for research efforts that prevent them from becoming serious global threats. This was the case of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), which evolved from an emerging pathogen to a quarantine pandemic organism, hindering the kiwifruit industry. Despite the multiplicity of factors involved in plant–pathogen interactions, the scientific knowledge already available regarding key pathosystems facilitates the focus on emergent phytosanitary issues. Thus, using Psa as a case study, this review highlights key mitigation strategies, from orchard management to genome analysis, aiming to foster the sustainability of agroecosystems. View this paper
