‘Phytophthora cinnamomi’ Rands (Pc), is considered one of the most virulent and invasive phytopathogens in the world, with a high incidence in non-forest and forest species such as chestnut, cork and holm oaks, avocado, blackberry, or tomato, causing leaf and root rot, crown, and trunk canker. The life cycle of Pc involves the production of highly virulent mobile asexual zoospores (Zs), which allows their dispersion of them through soil and water currents by the aquatic environment, stablishing a high biodiversity of belowground interactions with several host. At this work we will show new approaches for the management of Zs under strictly controlled conditions, at the laboratory. Those techniques allowed us to simulate nature in the laboratory, for inoculating tomato seedlings with Zs. This poor studied pathosystem, allowed us to expand our currentknowledge about the biodiversity of Pc’s abilities to interact with plant host.
