Manuel Mota,Helen Braasch,Maria Antonia Bravo,Ana Catarina Penas,Wolfgang Burgermeister,Kai Metge,Edmundo Sousa +6 more
TL;DR: Morphological observations, including shape of spicules, bursa, vulva, female tail end and stylet as well as morphometrics, were in accordance with the species description, and B. xylophilus is reported for the first time in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Nematoda; Aphelenchoididae) associated with Monochamus galloprovincialis (Coleoptera; Cerambycidae) in Portugal
Edmundo Sousa,Maria Antonia Bravo,Joana Pires,Pedro Naves,Ana Catarina Penas,Luis Bonifácio,Manuel Mota +6 more
TL;DR: A pest risk analysis for B. xylophilus and its vectors in the genus Monochamus for the territories of the European Union concluded that, due to the frequent occurrence of susceptible pine hosts in Europe and the presence of suitable insect vectors, PWD could have important economic andecologia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preliminary survey for insects associated with Bursaphelenchus xylophilus in Portugal.
Edmundo Sousa,Pedro Naves,Luis Bonifácio,Maria Antonia Bravo,Ana Catarina Penas,J. Pires,M. Serrão +6 more
TL;DR: A survey comprising 21 species of insects, from six families, with a total of 1367 specimens, was made in order to evaluate their possible role as vectors of the nematode in Portugal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species of Bursaphelenchus Fuchs, 1937 (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae) and other nematode genera associated with insects from Pinus pinaster in Portugal
TL;DR: Insects associated with maritime pine, Pinus pinaster, in Portugal were collected and screened for the presence of Bursaphelenchus species, which were found to be associated with the insects sampled, and several associations are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species of Bursaphelenchus Fuchs, 1937 (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae) associated with maritime pine in Portugal
TL;DR: Species of Bursaphelenchus associated with maritime pine, Pinus pinaster, from Portugal – within and outside the quarantine restricted demarcated zone of B. xylophilus – are described and characterised both morphologically (LM and SEM) and with the use of molecular biology (ITS-RFLP).
