Ug99, first discovered in Uganda in 1999,hence the name.
Its spores can be carried by the wind for hundred of miles, and can infect crops in only a few hours.
It has reached Iran.
It is estimated 80-90% of all wheat types grown in developing world are suspectible to this fungi.
resistant wheat varieties will hopefully be made avaible.
