Embryology and Cytology of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

2008
Because of their small size, availability, simple and transparent body, and reproducible development nematodes have been popular organisms for studying animal development since the nineteenth century. The many important events in embryogenesis, such as fertilization, meiosis, pronuclear meeting, and chromosome-based sex-determination were discovered as

Competitive interaction between Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and the closely related species Bursaphelenchus mucronatus

Nematology, 2008
AbstractBursaphelenchus xylophilus is an invasive pest of pines. When introduced accidentally into a new geographic area, it will share the same ecological niche as the closely related indigenous species, B. mucronatus. Competition between native and introduced species may affect the spread of invasive species, so we investigated the possible ...

Population Ecology of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

2008
Population ecology is the study of biological populations, and it includes diverse subfields: population dynamics concerns the size and structure of a population and examines the effects of environmental factors on it. In the study of population genetics, the changes of allele frequencies within populations and their distribution are especially ...

Immunological Differentiation Between Bursaphelenchus Xylophilus and B. Mucronatus

Nematologica, 1993
Antisera to Bursaphelenchus xylophilus was prepared by two different immunisation protocols. The antibodies were examined using the Enzyme Linked Immunoabsorbent Assay (ELISA) and Western Blots. The polyclonal antibodies obtained by the different immunisation schedules did not clearly distinguish B. xylophilus from B. mucronatus using the ELISA system.

Developmental Biology and Cytogenetics of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

2008
The pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, reproduces bisexually: a haploid sperm fertilizes a haploid oocyte, and the two pronuclei rearrange, move together, fuse, and begin diploid development. Early embryonic events taking place in the B. xylophilus embryo are similar to those of Caenorhabditis elegans, although the anterior-posterior axis ...

Microbial Control of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus by Fungi

2008
To reduce the number of pinewood nematodes (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) carried by the Japanese pine sawyer (Monochamus alternatus), we attempted to change the mycoflora and also to prevent blue-stain fungi, the main food-source fungi of the nematodes, from spreading throughout pine wilt-killed Pinus densiflora wood by inoculating other fungi into the ...

Pinewood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Buhrer) Nickle

2017
Pine wilt disease (PWD) is likely the most serious threat to pine forests worldwide. The causative agent of PWD, the pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Buhrer) Nickle, engages in a symbiotic partnership with its insect vector, the Monochamus beetle, as well as associated bacteria and ophiostomatoid fungi, to successfully ...

Satellite DNA as a Versatile Genetic Marker for Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

2008
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is causal agent of the pine wilt disease, one of the major conifer diseases worldwide. This nematode is a quarantine organism in the European Union, where it has recently been discovered in a restricted area in Portugal. In our laboratory, research has been developed to characterize the genetic diversity of the nematode, and ...
