Сосновая стволовая нематода

This paper reviews the research that has been done on the pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the pine wilt disease pathogen, in China, Japan, South Korea, Portugal and Finland. Data are presented showing damage resulting from pine wilt and measures that have been taken to manage the disease in these countries. Special attention is focused on a biological method that is being done in China using the wasp, Scleroderma guani, an especially effective natural parasite of Monochamus beetle larvae, the main PWN vector. Also described is a new method, which allows for early detection of PWNs and pine wilt disease
