The Pine Wood Nematode in Jack Pine Infected with Dwarf Mistletoe

Forest Science, 1985
Abstract Bursaphelenchus xylophilus was found only in declining or dead jack pine infested with Arceuthobium americanum . All trees containing Bursaphelenchus xylophilus were also infested with cerambycid beetles ...

Radiation sensitivity of pine wood nematodes in woodchips

International Journal of Radiation Applications and Instrumentation. Part A. Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 1991
Abstract The radiation sensitivity of pine wood nematodes has been tested over a range of dose values with a cesium-137 irradiator. Lethal doses were found to lie in a range above 6–8 kGy, too high to make this an economically attractive means of deinfestation for commercial woodchips.

Pine Wilt Disease Caused by the Pine Wood Nematode: The Induced Resistance of Pine Trees by the Avirulent Isolates of Nematode

European Journal of Plant Pathology, 2001
Since the beginning of the 20th century, pine trees in Japan have been seriously damaged by the pine wilt disease. This disease is caused by the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, which is transmitted by the Japanese pine sawyer, Monochamus alternatus.

Nematicidal effects of silencing arginine kinase in the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, determined using a dsRNA-like siRNA assembly.

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
The pine wood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is a highly invasive species responsible for the widespread pine wilt disease. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) biopesticides represent a novel strategy for controlling plant-parasitic nematodes.

ExpansinB3 as a marker for detecting pine wood nematode-infected pine trees

Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology, 2017
Abstract To develop a method for recognizing pine trees infected with pine wood nematodes (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, we have constructed a monoclonal antibody (Mab) library for Expansin B3 (EXPB3), which is one of the known proteins that is secreted by PWN.

Chitosan-based nanoparticles of avermectin to control pine wood nematodes

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2018
Pine wood nematode disease is a most devastating disease of pine trees. Avermectin (AVM) is a widely used bio-nematocide which can effectively to kill the pine wood nematode (PWN). However, its poor solubility in water and rapid photolysis are responsible for its poor bioavailability, which causes environmental pollution because of excessive applied ...

Cortical responses in Japanese black pine to attack by the pine wood nematode

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1993
Anatomical and cytochemical changes in the current-year stem cuttings of Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii) were investigated in the early stage of infection by a virulent isolate and an avirulent isolate of pine-wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus), and an avirulent isolate of another nematode species, Bursaphelenchus mucronatus ...

Development of a pathway model to assess the exposure of European pine trees to pine wood nematode via the trade of wood

Ecological Applications, 2017
AbstractPine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is a threat for pine species (Pinus spp.) throughout the world. The nematode is native to North America, and invaded Japan, China, Korea, and Taiwan, and more recently Portugal and Spain. PWN enters new areas through trade in wood products.

Parasitism Genes of the Pine Wood Nematode

2008
Although the life history and some behavioral ecological aspects of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the pine wood nematode (PWN) are now well documented, little is known about the molecular basis of the nematodes’ biology and host-parasite interaction.

Is the Pine Wood Nematode an Important Pathogen in the United States?

Journal of Forestry, 1984
Abstract The pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, causes a serious disease of native pines in Japan. The nematode was recently identified as a pathogen in the United States, and pathologists have speculated that it may threaten forests here.
