Biogeography of Bursaphelenchus Species Driven by Climate, Vectors and Hosts: Implications for Forest Pathology Under Climate Change

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.

Population dynamics and pathogenicity of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus in seven- to eight-year-old Pinus sylvestris trees

Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2019
The pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is the most harmful plant parasitic nematode on trees in Asia and Europe and is the causal agent of the so-called pine wilt disease of susceptible conifer species, mainly Pinus spp.

Beneath the Bark: Molecular Determinants of Adaptation and Infection in Bacterial Pathogens of Woody Hosts

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Bacterial pathogens colonise woody hosts by integrating metabolic adaptation, effector‐mediated immune suppression, cell wall remodelling and EPS‐ and toxin‐supported persistence. ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens of woody plants represent a pervasive yet underexplored threat to global agriculture and forestry, causing devastating diseases in fruit trees ...

Panel statement on young pine plants used for afforestation or reforestation as pathway for pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Pinewood nematode (PWN) (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) is a destructive pest of Pinus trees worldwide which depends for transmission on the cerambycid insects of the genus Monochamus. EFSA was asked to assess the potential role of young host plants for afforestation or reforestation planting as a pathway for PWN. According to legislation (EU COM/

Beyond Current Borders: Modeling the Climate‐Mediated Invasion of Fusarium incarnatum Into New Agricultural Frontiers

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study models the global distribution of Fusarium incarnatum under current and future climate scenarios using MaxEnt and Bioclim approaches. Model projections identify regions of high suitability across temperate and subtropical zones, with consensus between modeling methods indicating the most reliable predictions.
