Abstract

The history, ecology, and biology of the Bursaphelenchus-Monochamus complex in North America are reviewed. Since the nematode is seldom a primary pathogen in North America, distribution there cannot be equated with the distribution of the pine wilt disease.

Keywords

Bursaphelenchus xyiophilus, Bursaphelenchus mucronatus, Pinus, embargo, softwood products, Monochamus, pine wilt disease
