Abstract (AB)This paper summarises the activities of the ISSCT pathology workshop held between 23-=27 January 2006, at the INRA Research Centre in Petit Bourg, Guadeloupe, FWI. The workshop was hosted by CIRAD and organised y Jean Heinrich Daugrois and the CIRAD staff. It was attended by 30 delegates from 13 countries. Initially, each of the attendees described the disease situation and research activities in their respective country followed by oral and poster presentations for the first three days. The last two days there were sugarcane disease observations in commercial fields, field plots and laboratory visits at CIRAD Sugarcane Research Station with sight seeing tours of Guadeloupe. The presentations were on the following topics: pathogen variability, disease diagnosis and new diseases, disease impact, disease management, plant resistance, epidemiology, and disease spread. the workshop ended with everyone learning from each other and having an enjoyable time. A post-workshop tour of the West Indies Central Sugar Cane Breeding Station in Barbados was attended by five delegates.
