My honours and now my masters work will be focused on the eucalypt pathogens that reside in the genus Quambalaria. In my honours I described two species for this genus. My masters will focus on the pathogenicity of these new species towards eucalypts and insects and the information which can be obtained through genome sequencing especially in the area of reproduction and lifestyle. This work was presented at the South African Society of Plant Pathology as an oral presentation and presented as a poster at the International Botanical Congress 2017.
