Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oomyceteshas contain some of the most devastating and economically significant pathogens for agricultural species, forest ecosystems, and urban trees worldwide. Since climate change and global trade are the main drivers of the spread of Oomycetes species, it is expected that the phytosanitary importance of these pathogens in the coming years will remain consistent.
This Special Issue of 'Microorganisms' aims to collate recent research on Oomycetes in urban environments and natural forest ecosystems, with particular focus on effector repertoires in oomycete genomes, diversity of host species and host range, the genetic and physiological mechanisms of host adaptation and specialization, early detection methods and mitigation strategies.
We are seeking relevant original research or review papers addressing various aspects of Oomycetes research in the urban and natural forest ecosystems at both larger (regional or global) and smaller (local) scales.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Microorganisms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
