Abstract
A recent migration of a variable population of P. infestans has largely displaced the clonal A1 population in Western Europe. Sexual reproduction in European late blight populations is now possible and has been reported. The increased levels of aggressiveness form an important epidemiological feature of this new blight population. The impact of `new blight¿ on crop protection strategies based on late blight resistant cultivars and fungicides is discussed
