The tomato late blight pandemic of 2009 made late blight into a household term in much of the eastern United States. Many home gardeners and many organic producers lost most if not all of their tomato crop, and their experiences were reported in the mainstream press. Some CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture) could not provide tomatoes to their members. In response, many questions emerged: How did it happen? What was unusual about this event compared to previous late blight epidemics? What is the current situation in 2012 and what can be done? It's easiest to answer these questions, and to understand the recent epidemics of late blight, if one knows a bit of the history of the disease and the biology of the causal agent, Phytophthora infestans.
2009年番茄晚疫病大流行使晚疫病在美国东部大部分地区成为一个家喻户晓的词汇。许多家庭园艺者和许多有机农产品生产者损失了大部分甚至全部番茄作物，他们的经历被主流媒体报道。一些社区支持农业（CSA）项目无法向其成员提供番茄。对此，出现了许多问题：它是如何发生的？与以往的晚疫病流行相比，这次事件有什么不同寻常之处？2012年的现状如何以及可以采取什么措施？如果了解一点这种疾病的历史以及致病因子致病疫霉的生物学特性，就最容易回答这些问题并理解最近的晚疫病流行情况。
