First report of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus in Portugal and in Europe
Nematology, 1999AbstractA survey of aphelenchid nematodes (Nematoda: Aphelenchida) associated with maritime pine, Pinus pinaster, was conducted in Portugal in 1996 and 1999. A Bursaphelenchus species has been identified for the first time in the Iberian Peninsula. B. xylophilus is reported for the first time in Europe.

Developmental Biology and Cytogenetics of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus
2008The 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 ...

Behavioural features of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus in the mating process
Nematology, 2014The pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is able to produce hundreds of thousands of offspring in a short time. Its mating behaviour might play a basic role in this marked fecundity. We investigated the features of the mating behaviour of B. xylophilus using long-time microscope video and repeated observations.

Population Ecology of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus
2008Population 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 ...

Satellite DNA as a Versatile Genetic Marker for Bursaphelenchus xylophilus
2008Bursaphelenchus 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 ...

A short review of the pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus
Toxicology and Environmental Health Sciences, 2020This article provides a summary of studies on pine wilt disease (PWD). PWD is a serious threat to forests, and the damage caused by this disease results in significant economic loss. In addition, PWD adversely affects not only animals and plants, but also the human environment.

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 ...

The Enlargement of the xylophilus Group in the Genus Bursaphelenchus
2008The xylophilus group of the genus Bursaphelenchus can be clearly distinguished from other species of the genus by the presence of four lateral lines, the presence of a vulval flap in females, a characteristic shape of the male spicules and the arrangement of the seven caudal papillae.

Application of dsRNA in the Pine Wood Nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus
The pine wood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is one of the most destructive invasive species worldwide, causing the wilting and eventual death of pine trees. Despite recognition of their economic and environmental significance, it has thus far been impossible to study the detailed gene functions of plant parasitic nematodes through conventional ...Chunyu, Wang, Kai, Guo
