The GILB Newsletter is distributed in print and electronic formats to selected members in the scientific community, including GILB collaborators, researchers and donors. Past and current issues of the Newsletter are also available on the GILB homepage of the International Potato Center (CIP) website at www.cipotato.org/gilb

The objective of the newsletter is to facilitate and increase communication and cooperation among persons and organizations working to combat Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of potato late blight disease.

Please consider sharing a brief write-up on your current work related to late blight with other GILB Newsletter readers. Short articles (250 words or less) are particularly welcome, as are news items, notices of coming events, and summaries of research underway.

Direct submissions or comments to GILB Editorial Committee members: Edward French, Charlotte Lizárraga or Greg Forbes through the general GILB newsletter E-mail address (GILB(at)cgiar.org).
