A. 2016. Phytophthora and Pythium Species Detected in Rivers of the Polish-Ukrainian Border Areas. Baltic Forestry 22(2): 230-238. Abstract There are many records in the literature demonstrating that species belonging to the genus Phytophthora and Pythium cause damage to fine root and trunk collars of many forest tree species. Natural water courses can be an important but often neglected source of these phytopathogens. The detection of pathogenic Oomycetes organisms in the Ukrainian and Polish rivers was performed with the methods of baiting and filtering of water. The former was applied in Ukraine, and the latter in Poland. Branches with young leaves of beech, oak and black alder were used as baits and floated on the river surfaces for 3 days. Three Phytophthora species (Ph. gonapodyides, Ph. lacustris and Ph. cactorum) were detected in Ukrainian rivers presumably moving naturally towards the EU border. Species of the Pythium genus, and among them the most common ones like P. lycopersicum, P. sylvaticum, P. citrinum and P. terrestris, were detected in Polish rivers.

In the territory of Poland, the Western Bug is flowing into the artificial lake Zegrzyńskie (previously in the Narew r.). The interesting fact is that the Vistula r. in Poland could be a tributary of the Bug r. because the Bug r. is longer than the Vistula r. However, it prevails the Vistula flows and sinks into the Baltic Sea. Opposite to the other rivers, the Western Bug r. does not begin on small streams but on a spring and relatively affluent flow from the well in village Verkhobuzh.

The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine has already begun implementing these reforms, embracing all the key areas of the country’s infrastructure - airports, roadways, railways, sea and river ports, and the postal service: • Approximately 2177 kilometers of roadways have been constructed in 2017, and more than 4000 kilometers (state roads) are to be completed in 2018, improving the transportation infrastructure; • A number of investment and development agreements were signed in 2017.
