Pests of this species
Assessment of eucalypt rust as a pathogen
of Eucalyptus spp. and other Myrtaceae, and development of sensitive methods
for its detection in germplasm in Australia 
The susceptibility of species to Puccinia psidii was investigated, a DNA-based 'fingerprint' was developed for the unequivocal identification of P. psidii, and through bioclimatic modelling, regions were identified where the rust could be expected to cause severe epidemics in native vegetation and plantations. This research report was prepared by ACIAR, Australia (2007).
An analysis of the risk of introduction of additional strains of the rust Puccinia psidii Winter (ohia rust) to Hawaii
This 2008 analysis of the risk of introduction of additional strains of the rust Puccinia psidii to Hawaii provided a basis for Hawaii Department of Agriculture's interim rule regulating importation of plant in the myrtle family, in place for 12 months after its enactment on August 28, 2007.
