Myrtle rust is an introduced fungus, with super powers that give it the ability to kill its host plants. It has been spreading around the world, and after arriving in Australia eight years ago, it blew across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand just over a year ago. Alison Ballance is on a mission to find out about its ecological impacts on native plants and ecosystems in Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand.
