Links to updated (late 2019) county maps displaying known, confirmed trees infected by P. ramorum, based on SODMap (UC Berkeley, Garbelotto lab):
**Note that the maps provide a general idea of pathogen distribution in wildlands but not every record is displayed.
SODMAP includes P. ramorum reports confirmed by an official laboratory, including negative findings, with the intention of sharing known distribution information gathered by public agencies and research groups across the country.
The Oakmapper site provided a GIS tool which allowed users to learn about P. ramorum distribution in California. The online site was taken down in fall 2017 but the data files are available for download and use in your own GIS program.
