Characterization and taxonomic reassessment of the box blight pathogen Calonectria pseudonaviculata, introducing Calonectria henricotiae sp. nov.

Plant Pathology, 2016
Calonectria pseudonaviculata, the causal agent of the disease of Buxus spp. known as 'box blight', was first detected in the mid-1990s in the UK and New Zealand. Since then, the geographic range of box blight has rapidly expanded to at least 21 countries

Calonectria in the age of genes and genomes: Towards understanding an important but relatively unknown group of pathogens [PDF]

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 1060-1072, July 2022., 2022
The taxonomy, population biology, pathology, and genomics of Calonectria, an important but relatively unknown group of pathogens of agricultural crops as well as forestry and ornamental trees, are reviewed. Abstract The genus Calonectria includes many aggressive plant pathogens causing diseases on various agricultural crops as well as forestry and ...

Characterization of the Soil Bacterial Community from Selected Boxwood Gardens across the United States [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2022
In a recent study, we observed a rapid decline of the boxwood blight pathogen Calonectria pseudonaviculata (Cps) soil population in all surveyed gardens across the United States, and we speculated that these garden soils might be suppressive to Cps. This

Anti-desiccant Protection of Boxwood Crops from Infection by Calonectria pseudonaviculata Under Controlled Environments and in Production Fields

PhytoFrontiers
Chemical protection has been a key component of boxwood blight (Calonectria pseudonaviculata, Cps) management programs, but each application of fungicides only protects the iconic evergreen landscape plant for 2 to 3 weeks at best.

Epidemiology of boxwood blight in western North Carolina and Virginia and evaluation of the boxwood blight infection risk model [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Boxwood blight, caused by Calonectria pseudonaviculata, is a highly invasive emerging disease. Since the first US report in North Carolina and Connecticut in 2011, boxwood blight has spread to over 30 US states, risking more than 90% of boxwood ...

Comparative metabolomics reveals how the severity of predation by the invasive insect Cydalima perspectalis modulates the metabolism re–orchestration of native Buxus sempervirens [PDF]

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 818-833, August 2025.
Combining NMR– and LC–HRMS–based metabolomics reveals that root and leaf metabolic changes in boxwood predated by box–tree moth occur at the same density of predation for both central and specialized metabolisms. Abstract The recent biological invasion of box tree moth Cydalima perspectalis on Buxus trees has a major impact on European boxwood stands ...
