Myrtle rust (Uredo rangelii) is a serious fungal disease affecting the plant family Myrtaceae, which includes many Australian natives commonly found in Victorian gardens and parklands.
Myrtle rust is widespread on the eastern seaboard of New South Wales (NSW) and in south-east Queensland. Locations range from commercial plant nurseries, public gardens, parks and streetscapes to large areas of bushland.
Under the right conditions, myrtle rust may slow regeneration of native forests after harvesting or bushfire and could, in extreme circumstances, change forest biodiversity.
