Nerida Donovan
Nerida is a Citrus Pathologist based at NSW DPIRD's Elizabeth Macarthur Agricultural Institute. She coordinates a Citrus Pathology Program that enables government and industry to combat citrus biosecurity threats and supports industry sustainability. This is achieved by having the capability to detect all described citrus diseases, understanding the diseases within our borders to minimise their impact and preparing for the arrival of new diseases. Nerida also provides scientific expertise to Australian and international teams working on multi-disciplinary citrus projects. Nerida joined the department in 1999 after completion of a BScAgr (Hons 1, Medal) and PhD at the University of Sydney. Nerida previously served as the Secretary of the Australasian Plant Pathology Society and currently sits on the Board of Directors of the International Organization of Citrus Virologists as Past-Chair.
