Comparative effects of two in situ hybridization methods for the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 The gene localization technique of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (pinewood nematode, PWN) is used for study gene expression in PWNs. Two in situ hybridization methods, namely, whole-mount in situ hybridization and the cut-off method are used widely.

Role of human-mediated dispersal in the spread of the pinewood nematode in China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Intensification of world trade is responsible for an increase in the number of alien species introductions. Human-mediated dispersal promotes not only introductions but also expansion of the species distribution via long-distance dispersal.

An alkaline protease from Bacillus cereus NJSZ-13 can act as a pathogenicity factor in infection of pinewood nematode [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2023 Endophytic bacteria are an important biological control for nematodes. We isolated the nematicidal Bacillus cereus NJSZ-13 from healthy Pinus elliottii trunks.

Modeling the distribution of pine wilt disease in China using the ensemble models MaxEnt and CLIMEX
Ecology and EvolutionPine wilt disease (PWD) is a devastating plant disease caused by the pinewood nematode (PWN, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) that is transmitted by several beetle species in the genus, Monochamus. Once present, the disease is difficult to control. Prevention

First insights into the genetic diversity of the pinewood nematode in its native area using new polymorphic microsatellite loci. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, native to North America, is the causative agent of pine wilt disease and among the most important invasive forest pests in the East-Asian countries, such as Japan and China. Since 1999, it has been found

A soluble acetylcholinesterase provides chemical defense against xenobiotics in the pinewood nematode. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The pinewood nematode genome encodes at least three distinct acetylcholinesterases (AChEs). To understand physiological roles of the three pinewood nematode AChEs (BxACE-1, BxACE-2, and BxACE-3), BxACE-3 in particular, their tissue distribution and ...

Diversity of bacteria carried by pinewood nematode in USA and phylogenetic comparison with isolates from other countries. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Pine wilt disease (PWD) is native to North America and has spread to Asia and Europe. Lately, mutualistic relationship has been suggested between the pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus the causal nematode agent of PWD, and bacteria.
