A Detection Method of Pine Wilt Disease Based on Improved YOLOv11 With UAV Remote Sensing Images

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
The proposed YOLOv11‐OC model enhances detection performance in PWD‐infected trees in two main ways. On one hand, the omni‐dimensional dynamic convolution (ODConv) module improves the C3K2 by using a multi‐dimensional attention mechanism to adaptively adjust the convolution kernel weights, thereby enhancing the model's ability to extract features from ...

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

The role of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus associated bacteria in pine wilt disease [PDF]

, 2012
Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a complex disease integrating three major factors: the causal agent, the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus; the insect-vector Monochamus spp.; and the host pine tree, Pinus sp.

Report on the survey for Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and the occurrence of other Bursaphelenchus species in Hungarian coniferous forests. [PDF]

, 2013
An ongoing official survey to detect the pine wood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, a quarantine pest, started in 2003 in coniferous forests in Hungary. Based on the results of the study from 2003–11, B.

Ultrastructural Description of Amphid Neurons in the Pine Wood Nematode Indicates Concurrent Evolution of the Stylet and Specific Neurons

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 11, November 2025.
Nematodes possess simple nervous systems yet show broad ecological diversity. In the fungal‐feeding plant‐parasitic nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, we identified type V neurons in the amphid. These neurons, likely associated with the stylet, have trifurcated cilia and may have a potential mechanosensory role in triggering stylet‐thrusting behavior

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.

Nematicidal bacteria associated to pinewood nematode produce extracellular proteases. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Bacteria associated with the nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, a pathogen of trees and the causal agent of pine wilt disease (PWD) may play a role in the disease.

Efficacy of sulfuryl fluoride against the pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Nematoda: Aphelenchidae), in Pinus pinaster boards [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: The pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is an important conifer disease worldwide. It is the direct cause of the death of millions of pines in south-east Asia (mainly Japan, China and Korea) and has been established in Portugal

Fungal Community Assembly in Standing Deadwood: Stochastic vs. Deterministic Processes Across Decay Stages*

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Pinus massoniana, a key conifer in southern China, often succumbs to pests and strong winds, leaving abundant standing deadwood. However, under local field conditions, the mechanism of fungal community assembly within this deadwood remains poorly investigated.

The Simultaneous Role of Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) in Biological Control and Improving the Production of Forest Resources

Forest Pathology, Volume 55, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Plant pests and fungal diseases cause tremendous damage to forest resources worldwide, leading to increasing with increasing leading economic losses due to the impact of climate change such as increased prevalence and proliferation of invasive species.
