UC Berkeley researchers find sudden oak death in California spreading south.

Recent campus findings reveal that a pathogen that kills oak trees by the millions has recently spread further down the coast of California than ever before.

The pathogen, which can cause Sudden Oak Death, has been the focus of research team SOD Blitz — part of the UC Berkeley Forest Pathology and Mycology Laboratory — for a decade. Its research, announced Sunday, included DNA sampling revealing that the disease has reached the San Luis Obispo region for the first time.
