Environmental drivers influencing the ambrosia beetle community: The primary role of geographic and climatic drivers in chestnut‐growing areas

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 575-587, November 2026.
Ethanol‐baited traps were placed in cultivated chestnut orchards (a) and mixed environments with assorted tree composition (b), over a 2‐year monitoring period in two valleys (NW Italy). A total of 118,286 ambrosia beetles was collected, representing six species.

A Validated LNA‐Modified Probe‐Based qPCR Assay for the Fast and Accurate Detection of the Root Rot Pathogen Phytophthora × cambivora on Mycelial DNA and Artificially Inoculated Chestnut Tissue

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 6, November‐December 2026.
In response to the ongoing threat posed by Phytophthora × cambivora to European Fagaceae forests, a qPCR‐LNA method has been developed in compliance with the EPPO PM7/98 standard. This robust detection system is ideal for large‐scale disease monitoring campaigns, epidemiological investigations, routine diagnostics in nurseries and other vulnerable ...

The Fungus of the Chestnut-Tree Blight

open access: yesScience, 1912
causing serious injury in the eastern states was first noticed about the year 1904 in the vicinity of New York and is believed to be due to the growth of a hitherto unknown fungus described by Murrill in 1906 under the name of Diaporthe parasitica. The question naturally arises: Is the Diaporthe a native species of this country which had escaped the ...

Are novel and co‐xenic associations common in alien fungal and fungus‐like plant pathogens?

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 2, Page 843-860, October 2026.
Possible scenarios for plant–pathogen associations during invasion. An introduced plant may occur in a new area without its pathogen (enemy release) or together with its pathogen (co‐introduction). The presence of the alien plant (in red) and its co‐introduced pathogen (in dark red) can result in pathogen spillover to co‐occurring plants. Host jumps to

Interactions between chestnut gall wasp and blight: a new criticality for chestnut

open access: yesForest@, 2010
The fast spread of Chinese gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) represents a new constraint factor for chestnut stands and orchards in Italy. So far, the favourable effect of hypovirulence in Cryphonectria parasitica-Castanea sativa patho-system allowed the
