Drivers of Forest Pathogen Invasions: The Roles of Global Trade and Climate Change
South-East European Forestry, 2022 In the past 25 to 30 years, a marked increase has occurred in numbers of invasive alien pests and pathogens recorded, damaging agriculture, horticulture and forest environments.

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Laurel wilt is a vascular disease caused by a non‐native pathogen (Harringtonia lauricola) and an associated beetle vector (redbay ambrosia beetle; RAB; Xyleborus glabratus) affecting several members of the Lauraceae family in North America, including the ecologically and culturally important sassafras (Sassafras albidum).

, 2011 The full length mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal (mt-rns) gene has been characterized for Ophiostoma novo-ulmi subspecies americana. The gene was also characterized for Ophiostoma ulmi and a group II intron was noted in the mt-rns gene of O. ulmi.

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Wood‐inhabiting nematodes of the genus Bursaphelenchus are a group with significant ecological and economic impacts on global forest ecosystems. This review aims to update current knowledge on their spatial distribution, host‐vector associations and the factors driving species expansion under the framework of climate change.

An endopolygalacturonase gene of Diaporthe helianthi
Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2012 In an attempt to define virulence determinants of Diaporthe helianthi, the causative agent of sunflower stem canker, the gene named Dhpg, coding for an endopolygalacturonase, was investigated in the highly virulent strain 8/96 isolated from a diseased ...

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1556-1566, June 2026.Abstract Attempts to address biodiversity loss have led to ecosystem and species restoration efforts. Tree species restoration is particularly relevant because of increasing threats from pests and pathogens. However, there are different notions of ‘loss’, as well as sociocultural considerations, including social acceptability, which are often neglected

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Oak wilt, caused by Bretziella fagacearum, is a destructive vascular disease of oaks in North America, yet fine‐scale spatial localisation of the pathogen in host tissues and on insect vectors remains poorly characterised. In this study, we developed and validated a species‐specific fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) probe targeting the

Gene expression differences among three Neurospora species reveal genes required for sexual reproduction in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many fungi form complex three-dimensional fruiting bodies, within which the meiotic machinery for sexual spore production has been considered to be largely conserved over evolutionary time.

Bark and wood tissues of American elm exhibit distinct responses to Dutch elm disease
Scientific Reports, 2017 Tolerance to Dutch elm disease (DED) has been linked to the rapid and/or high induction of disease-responsive genes after infection with the fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi. Although the fungal infection by O.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Elms, especially Ulmus minor and Ulmus americana, are carrying out a hard battle against Dutch elm disease (DED). This vascular wilt disease, caused by Ophiostoma ulmi and O. novo-ulmi, appeared in the twentieth century and killed millions of elms across
