Pathogenicity of aseptic Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Pine wilt is a disease of pine (Pinus spp.) caused by the pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. However, the pathogenic mechanism of pine wilt disease (PWD) remains unclear.

Possible stochastic sex determination in Bursaphelenchus nematodes

Nature Communications, 2022
In most species, sex is determined by genetic or environmental factors. Here, the authors present evidence that sex determination in Bursaphelenchus nematodes is instead likely to be regulated by a random, epigenetic mechanism.

First finding of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus in pine plantations of the Republic of Armenia [PDF]

Journal of Nematology
In 2022–2023, a survey of drying coniferous plantations in 5 regions of the Republic of Armenia was conducted. Investigations were carried out in plantations of Scots pine Pinus sylvestris L. and Crimean pine Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe.

Wood-Inhabiting Nematode, Bursaphelenchus ussuriensis sp. n. (Nematoda: Aphelenchoididae) from David Elm, with Molecular Phylogeny of the Genus Based on Partial Mitochondrial Genomes [PDF]

Plants
A new nematode species, Bursaphelenchus ussuriensis sp. n. is described in the bark beetle–elm tree association (Scolytus jacobsoni and Ulmus davidiana var. japonica f. suberosa) in the Asian Pacific region of Russia.

Virulence Biomarkers of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus: A Proteomic Approach [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, one of the most serious forest pests worldwide, is considered the causal agent of the pine wilt disease (PWD). The main host species belong to the genus Pinus, and a variation in the susceptibility

New insights into the phylogeny and worldwide dispersion of two closely related nematode species, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and Bursaphelenchus mucronatus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is one of the greatest threats to coniferous forests worldwide, causing severe ecological damage and economic loss. The biology of B. xylophilus is similar to that of its closest relative, B. mucronatus,

Discovery of murayaquinone from an endophytic bacterium Streptomyces sp. AN140557 as a potent inhibitor of the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Murayaquinone isolated from the pine endophyte Streptomyces sp. AN140557 exhibits potent, dose‐dependent nematicidal activity and egg‐hatching inhibition against the pine wood nematode. It effectively inhibited pine wilt disease in greenhouse tests, suggesting potential as a promising biocontrol agent.

Ultrastructural Description of Amphid Neurons in the Pine Wood Nematode Indicates Concurrent Evolution of the Stylet and Specific Neurons. [PDF]

J Comp Neurol
Nematodes possess simple nervous systems yet show broad ecological diversity. In the fungal‐feeding plant‐parasitic nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, we identified type V neurons in the amphid. These neurons, likely associated with the stylet, have trifurcated cilia and may have a potential mechanosensory role in triggering stylet‐thrusting behavior

Bursaphelenchus mucronatus (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae) associated with Monochamus galloprovincialis from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Georgia

Helminthologia, 2023
Bursaphelenchus mucronatus was detected in association with the pine sawyer beetle (Monochamus galloprovincialis) during the implementation and testing of cross traps with insect attractants as an efficient tool for detection survey for pine wood ...
