Ecological and Biological Studies of Two Larval Parasitoids on Two Monochamus Vectors of the Pinewood Nematode in South Korea. [PDF]
Simple Summary The present study aims to search for potential biological agents on two longhorned beetle species, namely, Monochamus alternatus and M. saltuarius, that are known as insect vectors of the Pinewood nematode, causing the pine wilt disease in

Invasion History of the Pinewood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Influences the Abundance of Serratia sp. in Pupal Chambers and Tracheae of Insect-Vector Monochamus alternatus. [PDF]
Pine wilt disease (PWD) has caused extensive mortality in pine forests worldwide. This disease is a result of a multi-species interaction among an invasive pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, its vector Monochamus sp. beetle, and the host

Insights Into the Mechanisms Implicated in Pinus pinaster Resistance to Pinewood Nematode. [PDF]
Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the plant–parasitic nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, has become a severe environmental problem in the Iberian Peninsula with devastating effects in Pinus pinaster forests. Despite the high levels of this species' susceptibility, previous studies reported heritable resistance in P. pinaster trees. Understanding the

Modeling the distribution of pine wilt disease in China using the ensemble models MaxEnt and CLIMEX
Pine 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]
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
