Feeding Dimorphism in a Mycophagous Nematode, Bursaphelenchus sinensis [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractPhenotypic plasticity has been widely reported in animals and can drive investment in new biological characters that engender ecological adaptability. The nematode family Diplogastridae, especially Pristionchus pacificus with its dramatic stomatal (feeding) dimorphism, has become an important model system to analyze the evolutionary and ...

Morpho-biometrical characterisation of Portuguese Bursaphelenchus xylophilus isolates with mucronate, digitate or round tailed females

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2009
Morpho-biometrical studies were conducted on 12 Bursaphelenchus xylophilus isolates collected from maritime pine, Pinus pinaster, in Portugal. The studies were carried out on 20 females and 20 males from each isolate. A wide variation in the female tails,

Bursaphelenchus suri n. sp.: A second Bursaphelenchus syconial parasite of figs supports adaptive radiation among section Sycomorus figs.

PLoS ONE, 2022
The nematode genus Bursaphelenchus is a highly divergent group. This genus mainly consists of mycophagous entomophilic species, but some species have specialized as obligate or facultative plant parasites, facultative insect parasites, or exhibit feeding

Nematodes in the Pine Forests of Northern and Central Greece

Insects, 2022
In the context of plants or plant products protection by harmful organisms, measures have been taken by EU countries in order to prevent their introduction and establishment into the EU, and also limit their expansion in case they do enter.

Genetic characteristics of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus third-stage dispersal juveniles

Scientific Reports, 2021
The third-stage dispersal juvenile (DJ3) of pinewood nematode (PWN) is highly associated with low-temperature survival and spread of the nematode. Oil-Red-O staining showed that its lipid content was significantly higher compared with other PWN stages ...

Aphelenchoididae nematodes in a centennial Pinus pinea tree, and a review of Bursaphelenchus species from this host

Phytopathologia Mediterranea
A “monumental” centennial Pinus pinea L. tree of public interest with severe wilting symptoms was felled in Coimbra, Portugal. A survey was carried out to detect Aphelenchoididae nematodes (including Bursaphelenchus spp.) in the tree tissues.

Valorization of Ficus carica Pruning Residues as Selective Botanical Insecticides: Optimized Furanocoumarin Extraction, Efficacy Against Neotropical Stink Bugs, and Mechanistic Insights via Molecular Docking

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 4, August 2026.
Optimized extracts from Ficus carica pruning waste exhibit strong biological activity against major stink bug pests. Complementary in silico analyses suggest this efficacy relies on pest‐specific acetylcholinesterase inhibition, predicting a promising, pollinator‐safe alternative for sustainable agriculture.

Biogeography of Bursaphelenchus Species Driven by Climate, Vectors and Hosts: Implications for Forest Pathology Under Climate Change

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Wood‐inhabiting nematodes of the genus Bursaphelenchus are a group with significant ecological and economic impacts on global forest ecosystems. This review aims to update current knowledge on their spatial distribution, host‐vector associations and the factors driving species expansion under the framework of climate change.

Soil Pathobiome in Agroecosystems and Forests

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
This review synthesises current knowledge on the soil pathobiome across agroecosystems, horticulture, and forests, highlighting how climate change and intensive management disrupt microbial communities and promote pathogen accumulation. It emphasises soil health as a key component of the One Health framework, linking ecosystem, plant, animal, and human

Genome Assembly Resource and Annotation of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus TS-1, the Causal Agent of Pine Wilt Disease

PhytoFrontiers, 2023
Pine wilt disease is a major biological disaster caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. This study establishes a high-quality and well-annotated genome sequence of B. xylophilus strain TS-1 from Mountain Tai in Shandong province, China.
