Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic
I have developed my scientific carrier in the field of Plant and Forest Pathology. Although I am interested in all the aspects and factors involved in plant and tree pathosystems from the molecular to the ecological level, I am mostly focused on the study of the occurrence and diversity of viruses on fungal and oomycete tree pathogens, such as Gremmeniella abietina, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, Fusarium circinatum and Phytophthora species. By studying the virome of tree pathogens we can answer unresolved questions related to their pathogenicity, invasion history and co-evolution with the host.
