| Abstracts |
Examples of the important relationships involved in pine wilt disease are presented and discussed. These relationships include the timing of vector beetle oviposition and symptom onset on host pines, the nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) population and microbial cohabitants in dead trees, and host resistance and mycorrhizal symbiosis. The complicated relationships between organisms involved in PWD are regulated by each other, and thus determine the ability to survive of host pine trees, and the spread of PWD. A comprehensive understanding of PWD is needed for effective control of this disease. |
