Excerpt from Outbreaks of the Dutch Elm Disease in the United States It has now been discovered in the United States in four distinct localities, which probably represent separate introductions. Eight diseased trees have been found in Cleveland, Ohio, and Cincinnati, and one tree in Baltimore, Md. The major infection discovered to date, however, centers about the metropolitan district of New York City and, so far as known at present, is included in an area circumscribed by a radius of approximately 40 miles, having the tip of Manhattan as its center.

Elms occur, both naturally and cultivated, throughout much of the temperate world. Because of their high tolerance to extreme growing conditions and their widespread distribution, elms have been widely planted in cities, towns and rural areas throughout North America and northern Europe. As such, their current demise due to several pandemics of Dutch elm disease has spurred a huge body of research on breeding for disease resistance, conservation and systematics. The Elms: Breeding, Conservation and Disease Management provides the current state of knowledge in these areas and is an important reference work for pathologists, breeders, taxonomists, and arborists.
