Gene sdaB Is Involved in the Nematocidal Activity of Enterobacter ludwigii AA4 Against the Pine Wood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, a plant parasitic nematode, is the causal agent of pine wilt, a devastating forest tree disease. Essentially, no efficient methods for controlling B. xylophilus and pine wilt disease have yet been developed.

Systematic review of modelling approaches assessing eradication and containment measures for the pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract This Scientific Opinion reviews existing models that assess eradication and containment strategies of the pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. The objective was to characterise modelling approaches, validation data and methods used to investigate possible interventions.

Migration and Attacking Ability of Bursaphelenchus mucronatus in Pinus thunbergii Stem Cuttings

The Plant Pathology Journal, 2016
To understand how Bursaphelenchus xylophilus kills pine trees, the differences between the effects of B. xylophilus and B. mucronatus on pine trees are usually compared. In this study, the migration and attacking ability of a non-pathogenic B. mucronatus

A conceptual model for the diapause intensity curve and termination in overwintering Japanese pine sawyer larvae, Monochamus alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 226-236, June 2026.
Larval diapause intensity of Monochamus alternatus follows a declining curve, beginning with an initial refractory phase and reaching termination after approximately 110 days of chilling at 9°C. Residual inhibitory state strongly influenced post‐chilling development; additional chilling shortened the diapause period more at 18°C than at warmer ...

Mortality and movement behaviour of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus under different dosages of copper sulphate

Plant Protection Science, 2013
The effects of in vitro exposure to different concentrations of copper sulphate for different durations on the mortality and locomotor behaviour of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus were evaluated.

Requirement of group I lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase for turnover of chitinous cuticle during moulting in two forest pest beetles, Monochamus alternatus and Psacothea hilaris

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 115-125, April 2026.
Group I LPMO15‐1 cDNAs from two economically important forest insect pests, M. alternatus and P. hilaris, were cloned. MaLPMO15‐1 and PhLPMO15‐1 show a similar pattern of expression during late stages of development. RNAi for LPMO15‐1 causes failure of adult eclosion in both M. alternatus and P. hilaris.

Ascarosides coordinate the dispersal of a plant-parasitic nematode with the metamorphosis of its vector beetle

Nature Communications, 2016
Many species of nematodes use pheromones called ascarosides to coordinate their behaviour and development. Here, Zhao et al. demonstrate that the beetle vector of the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) also uses and responds to ascarosides in

Secretome Analysis of the Pine Wood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Reveals the Tangled Roots of Parasitism and Its Potential for Molecular Mimicry. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Since it was first introduced into Asia from North America in the early 20(th) century, the pine wood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus has caused the devastating forest disease called pine wilt.

How to eradicate an invasive forest pest without clear‐cutting

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
The results show that selective cutting applied together with modern remote sensing surveillance methods is an environmentally friendly alternative to the mandatory clear‐cutting for PWN control in the EU. Abstract The pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is an invasive species causing high pine mortality in invaded areas outside its ...

Insights into pine wilt disease: a review on biology and pathogenicity of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and B. mucronatus

Trees, Forests and People
Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is a major ecological and economic threat to pine forests worldwide. Native to North America, B.
