Abstract Aim An assessment method that can precisely represent human‐vectored long‐distance dispersals (HVLDD) is currently in need for the effective management of invasive species. Here, we focussed on HVLDD happening along roads and proposed a path‐finding algorithm as a more precise dispersal assessment tool than the most widely used Euclidean ...

The role of bacteria in pine wilt disease: insights from microbiome analysis. [PDF]
Pine Wilt Disease (PWD) has a significant impact on Eurasia pine forests. The microbiome of the nematode (the primary cause of the disease), its insect vector, and the host tree may be relevant for the disease mechanism.

Life-history strategies and virulence in the pinewood nematode
Abstract We assessed variation and covariation in life history traits of the forest pathogen Bursaphelenchus xylophilus from a native population in North America. We tested for relationships between life history traits and virulence. There was more than two-fold variation among isolates from the same forest in their population growth rates when ...

Virulence Biomarkers of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus: A Proteomic Approach
The pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, one of the most serious forest pests worldwide, is considered the causal agent of the pine wilt disease (PWD). The main host species belong to the genus Pinus, and a variation in the susceptibility

Diversity of Bacteria Associated with Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and Other Nematodes Isolated from Pinus pinaster Trees with Pine Wilt Disease [PDF]
The pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, has been thought to be the only causal agent of pine wilt disease (PWD), however, since bacteria have been suggested to play a role in PWD, it is important to know the diversity of the microbial ...

Species of Bursaphelenchus Fuchs, 1937 (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae) and other nematode genera associated with insects from Pinus pinaster in Portugal [PDF]
Insects associated with maritime pine, Pinus pinaster, in Portugal were collected and screened for the presence of Bursaphelenchus species. Nematodes were identified using Internal Transcribed Spacers-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (ITS-RFLP ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Monochamus alternatus alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
Monochamus alternatus alternatus is the major vector of pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, in Asia. The length of the complete mitochondria genome of M. alternatus alternatus was 15,880 bp with 21% GC content, including 39.7% A, 12.3% C, 8.7%
