Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii – enemy release and plant–soil feedbacks

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3060-3071, March 2026.
Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

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.

UGT440A1 Is Associated With Motility, Reproduction, and Pathogenicity of the Plant-Parasitic Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Pine wilt disease (PWD) caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is considered a major threat to pine forests worldwide. Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) catalyze the conjugation of small lipophilic compounds with sugars and play crucial

Volume-based selection in Pinus pinaster Aiton breeding: evaluating resistance to Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner & Buhrer) Nickle and wood properties

Annals of Forest Science
Key message Genetic parameter estimates at age 12 years for trunk volume in Pinus pinaster displayed low to moderate heritability for growth and stem form, whereas wood properties showed high heritability.

Optimal strategies for utilizing host plant distributions to slow the spread of plant pests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
Containment of invasive species can be made markedly more cost‐effective by prioritizing landscape features that naturally impede spread. Targeting treatments around host‐plant gaps supports a clear operational rule: use mating disruption where densities are low to prevent establishment and concentrate pesticides where densities are high to suppress ...

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.

The Factors Involved in Plant–Insect–Microbe Interactions Expanded: Genome Analysis and Description of Frigoribacterium adelgis sp. nov.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
Aerobic Actinobacteria belonging to the genus Frigoribacterium were isolated from adelgid Adelges (Aphrastasia) pectinatae collected from a Korean fir tree. Genomic analysis showed that these bacteria encode a range of factors that may be involved in the interactions between Frigoribacterium strains, adelgids and/or Korean fir trees.

Catalases Induction in High Virulence Pinewood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus under Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Stress. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Considered an EPPO A2 quarantine pest, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is the causal agent of the pine wilt disease and the most devastating plant parasitic nematode attacking coniferous trees in the world.

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 1, January 2026.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

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
