Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Pathogen detection varied across sites and time.
- Association Proximity to waterways appeared to increase pathogen presence.
- Method / resource Visual disease assessment and laboratory pathogen assays differed.
- Method / resource Restricting data to sites with Xanthorrhoea as a potential host marginally improved detection agreement.
- Method / resource Sample size analysis indicated substantially more sampling is needed to detect consequential long term changes.
- Recommendation The authors recommend greater monitoring intensity and duration for landscape scale inference.
- Recommendation The authors suggest local monitoring that considers susceptible sentinel species.
