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

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 ...
