Seeing the forest for the trees: Use of phages to treat bacterial tree diseases
Phages are promising biocontrol agents and hold great potential as a treatment for tree bacterial diseases. Abstract Trees and woody plants can be attacked by many pests and pathogens either individually or as polymicrobial infections. In particular, infections caused by tree‐specific bacterial pathogens have become more common during the last decade ...

Effects of defoliation by horse chestnut leafminer ( Cameraria ohridella ) on reproduction in Aesculus hippocastanum [PDF]
In large parts of Europe horse chestnut trees (Aesculus hippocastanum) suffer from severe defoliation by an alien invasive species, the specialist leaf mining moth Cameraria ohridella (Lepidoptera; Gracillariidae). Heavily infested trees have a drastically shortened period for photosynthesis. We quantified the effect of moth infestation on reproduction

Abstract According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for the pesticide active substance chlorantraniliprole. To assess the occurrence of chlorantraniliprole residues in plants, processed commodities, rotational crops and livestock, EFSA considered ...

Temporal and spatial variations in the parasitoid complex of the horse chestnut leafminer during its invasion of Europe [PDF]
The enemy release hypothesis posits that the initial success of invasive species depends on the scarcity and poor adaptation of native natural enemies such as predators and parasitoids. As for parasitoids, invading hosts are first attacked at low rates by a species-poor complex of mainly generalist species.

The research on parasitoids of the horse chestnut leafminer (Cameraria ohridella Deschka & Dymić, 1986) of the order Hymenoptera was conducted in the years 2004– 2006 in six locations in central Poland. The complex of parasitoids was composed of 14 species. Minotetrastrichus frontalis (Nees) and Pnigalio agraules (Walker), (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)

AbstractSpatial patterns of the horse chestnut leafminer Cameraria ohridella Deschka & Dimic (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) population density was analysed in the cities of Bern and Brussels in order to explore its spatial population dynamics. The surveys were carried out in Bern in 1998 and 2000 and in Brussels in 2001 to assess population density ...
