About

Theo H.M. Smits is a Lecturer at Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften in Switzerland. His research focuses on plant pathology, particularly the genomics and evolution of fire blight and its causative agent, Erwinia amylovora. Additionally, he investigates host-pathogen interactions and the detection of emerging human pathogens. His recent publications highlight developments in quantifying and identifying plant-associated bacteria and understanding the impacts of environmental factors on plant health.
