Abstract: Abstract As Europe just learned again during the COVID-19 pandemic, diseases spread rapidly and with little regard for national borders. The protagonists and experts of the nineteenth century were fully aware of this, as were the farmers; one conclusion they drew from this was the Bern Treaty of 1878. The signatories committed to documenting every phylloxera outbreak in their countries and to control the flow of contaminants. Therefore, plant protection is another example in which a major challenge arising from and affecting trade on a global scale gave birth to international coordination centred on Europe and transforming the modern states from the inside.
