Zoospores are motile spores produced by certain types of fungi, bacteria and protists and swim using their flagella with a speed of up to 250 µm/s. Plant pathogen zoospores play a key role in spreading a number of serious plant diseases, causing massive ecological and economic losses worldwide. For example, still today, Potato Late Blight (PLB) caused by Phytophthora infestans continues to be the foremost biotic threat to worldwide potato production, posing a significant menace to global food security, particularly in less developed regions reliant on potatoes as a primary food source. Worldwide, the economic impact of yield loss and management expenses due to PLB can range from 3 to 10 billion USD annually. Another specific and distressingly impactful example is Kauri dieback, caused by Phytophthora agathidicida. It is a devastating disease leading to the decline and mortality of kauri trees (Agathis australis) across northern New Zealand. These trees are among the longestliving species globally and hold significant cultural importance, particularly among Māori indigenous people.
