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 ...

Distribution and population structure of the chestnut blight fungus in Romania

Plant Protection Science, 2015
The occurrence of chestnut blight (Cryphonectria parasitica) was studied in 2011-2012 at 13 locations in the main chestnut growing areas of Romania. Infections were detected at four localities.

Toxicity of plant essential oils to Cryphonectria parasitica (Murr.) Barr, the causal agent of chestnut blight [PDF]

Pesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2019
Twenty-two essential oil samples from Germany and Albania were assayed to test their inhibitory and fungicidal activity against Cryphonectria parasitica (Murr.) Barr., the major causal agent of chestnut blight on chestnut trees, using the fumigant ...

Situation of damage caused by Cryphonectria parasitica to forest stands and orchards of Castanea sativa by 2001 in Slovakia

Horticultural Science, 2004
In the present paper the knowledge of evaluation of the health condition of Castanea sativa (Mill.) in forest stands was summarised. It was found out that the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica (Murr.) Barr damaged the coppices until 60 years.

Functionality Enhancement of Pullulan‐Based Composites for Food Packaging Applications

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Contemporary research in food packaging is focused on developing sustainable alternatives to petroleum‐based materials. Pullulan, a microbial biopolymer traditionally employed as a food additive, is harnessing interest for food packaging applications due to its exceptional film‐forming ability, biodegradability, and nontoxic nature.

Changes in VOCs from a chestnut blight fungus Cryphonectria parasitica by a hypovirus infection: mycoviral infection alters fungal smell for insect vectors

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Background The chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, and its Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1) comprise a useful model system to study fungus–virus interactions.

Characterisation and pathogenicity of Cryphonectria parasitica on sweet chestnut and sessile oak trees in Serbia

Plant Protection Science, 2019
The presence of Cryphonectria parasitica (Murrill) M.E. Barr was studied in six natural and planted stands of sweet chestnut in Serbia. The fungus was detected on the sweet chestnut in five localities and on the sessile oak in one locality.

Chrysoporthe cubensis‐Induced Wilting in Eucalypt Mini‐Stumps: In Vitro Fungus and Disease Development

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Chrysoporthe cubensis was reported to cause wilting that later progressed to dieback and death in eucalypt mini‐stumps. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of various factors on the in vitro development of C. cubensis and to reproduce the wilting symptoms in eucalypt following artificial inoculation. Conidial production by C.

Silencing of Kex2 Significantly Diminishes the Virulence of Cryphonectria parasitica

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2009
Cryphonectria parasitica is the causal agent of chestnut blight. Infection of this ascomycete with Cryphonectria hypovirus 1 (CHV1) results in reduction of virulence and sporulation of the fungus.
