Impact of climate change on epidemics of abaca bunchy top and banana black sigatoka 2011 Illustrations, Graphs, Tables Climate change affects plant pathogens causing diseases and damages in both natural and man-managed ecosystems. Accumulating evidences from current studies indicate that the effect could be devastating as pathogens intensify temporarily and spatially. Modeling and simulation can be used to better understand the dynamics of pest epidemics in s changing climate as a prerequisite to developing a sound pest management strategy.
