Commodity risk assessment of Quercus robur plants from the UK
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High‐risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by plants of Quercus robur imported from the UK as:

The rise of the Asian chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus in France has benefited the native community of parasitoids originally associated with oak gall wasps by becoming an additional trophic subsidy and therefore perturbing population dynamics of

High parasitization of Trissolcus japonicus on Halyomorpha halys recorded at release and adventive sites. Both species are favored by the same landscape elements, mediating risk for nontarget species. Abstract BACKGROUND Classical biological control has been identified as the most promising approach to limit the impact of the invasive pest species ...

Biological control of dryocosmus kuriphilus yasumatsu with the parasitoid torymus sinensis Kamijo
Introduction: The chestnut gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae), is a gall inducing insect original from China that attacks the Castanea genus and can significantly hinder production of chestnut trees.

Various kinds of necroses found in bud tissues of hosts (chestnut trees) were caused by oviposition and consequent gall formation by chestnut gall wasps. Necroses resulted from resisting reaction against parasites were initiated in parenchymatous tissues around vascular bundles which intervened between gall and normal tissues, and were classified as ...

Tree Diversity Limits the Impact of an Invasive Forest Pest.
The impact of invasive herbivore species may be lower in more diverse plant communities due to mechanisms of associational resistance. According to the "resource concentration hypothesis" the amount and accessibility of host plants is reduced in diverse ...
