<DIV>Hello!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>today's blog looks at the threat to Hawai`i's unique forests by non-native
insects and diseases, especially the new strain of <EM>Ceratocytus fimbriata
</EM>on `ohi`a trees on the Big Island. This pathogen raises - again! -
the problem of managing pests/pathogens that are unknown until they begin to
kill.</DIV>
