Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) pose threats to conservation and public health. Here, we apply the definition of EIDs used in the medical and veterinary fields to botany and highlight a series of emerging plant diseases. We include EIDs of cultivated and wild plants, some of which are of significant conservation concern. The underlying cause of most plant EIDs is the anthropogenic introduction of parasites, although severe weather events are also important drivers of disease emergence. Much is known about crop plant EIDs, but there is little information about wild-plant EIDs, suggesting that their impact on conservation is underestimated. We conclude with recommendations for improving strategies for the surveillance and control of plant EIDs.
新发传染病对生物保护和公众健康构成威胁。在此，我们将医学和兽医学领域中使用的新发传染病定义应用于植物学，并着重介绍了一系列新出现的植物病害。我们涵盖了栽培植物和野生植物的新发传染病，其中一些对生物保护具有重大影响。大多数植物新发传染病的根本原因是人为引入寄生虫，不过极端天气事件也是病害出现的重要驱动因素。人们对农作物新发传染病了解甚多，但关于野生植物新发传染病的信息却很少，这表明它们对生物保护的影响被低估了。我们最后提出了改进植物新发传染病监测和控制策略的建议。
