As you know GWAS have become very popular for finding causal variants using natural populations, then why there is a huge discrepancy between the number of GWAS done on hosts (wheat, maize, rice etc) and pathogens (fungi, bacteria)?

There are numerous GWAS paper for different traits in agricultural crops, but very few for identifying pathogen virulence genes or loci.

What are the possible reasons?

Thanks.
