“…Several insect species can carry Bursaphelenchus nematodes acting as vectors, mainly longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), bark beetles (Curculionidae-Scolytinae), and jewel beetles (Buprestidae) [8,70,91,92]. For example, B. mucronatus was found to be associated with Ips sexdentatus Börner 1776, while B. sexdentati was associated with Orthotomicus erosus Wollaston 1857, Acanthocinus aedilis Linnaeus 1758, and Arhopalus rusticus Linnaeus 1758 [93]. On the other hand, insect species are capable of vectoring more than one Bursaphelenchus species, e.g., O. erosus carried three different Bursaphelenchus spp., Hylurgus ligniperda Fabricius 1787 two Bursaphelenchus species and both Tomicus piniperda and I. sexdentatus one Bursaphelenchus species each.…”

In the context of plants or plant products protection by harmful organisms, measures have been taken by EU countries in order to prevent their introduction and establishment into the EU, and also limit their expansion in case they do enter. Such a case is Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Parasitaphelenchidae, Nematoda), already recorded in Portugal and Spain. So, Member States should take all the appropriate steps in order to monitor and confine if necessary susceptible plants and/or plant products. Such measures include annual surveys even in countries where pine wilt disease does not occur yet. Therefore, national survey programs are widely established, sampling and examining samples from pine trees showing suspicious symptoms that could potentially be attributed to B. xylophilus. In this direction, such a network has also been established in Greece collecting and examining wood samples nationwide. In total, 123 wood samples were collected from conifer trees of Northern and Central Greece. Though B. xylophilus was absent from all samples examined, four other Bursaphelenchus species were identified. In addition, other nematode taxa were also recorded, including several phytophagous, microbivorous as well as predatory nematode species. This highlights the fact that besides preventing the introduction of B. xylophilus in Greece, national survey programs can significantly contribute to and enhance our knowledge of the indigenous nematode species.

“…This nematode inhabits in the resin canal systems of infected pines, spreading across the stem, branches, and roots (Mamiya 1983). This nematode is spread by beetles of the genus Monochamus (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) through maturation feeding on the bark, particularly Monochamus galloprovincialis (Olivier 1795) (Coleoptera Cerambycidae), which usually inhabit weakened trees (Meshkova 2017;Dayi & Akbulut 2018).…”

“…Nematodes associated with trees are subdivided into different ecological groups. Some of them are phytophagous nematodes and are vectored by insects (Dayi & Akbulut 2018). Another group includes the entomophilic nematodes of xylophagous insect-pests of living or recently felled trees (Grucmanová & Holuša 2013;Holuša et al 2017;Takov et al 2019) and can be the ground for the production of biological means of tree protection on the base of entomophilic nematodes.…”

This study focused on the occurrence of xylophagous beetles and nematodes in the different parts of Pinus sylvestris L. trees of different health condition in the pure stands in Zhytomyr region (Central Polissya). Stem fragments with thin, thick and transitional bark, branches and twigs were examined in each of 12 model trees. Xylophagous beetles were identified by adults or by galleries. Nematodes were isolated from wood samples in the laboratory using the Baermann method and identified by morphometric characteristics. Among 10 species of xylophagous beetles, Ips acuminatus (frequency 16.7%; dominance 17.9%) and I. sexdentatus (frequency 11.1%, dominance 54.6%) dominated, which prefer the fragments with thin and thick bark respectively. No xylophagous beetle was found in the healthy and slightly weakened trees. Among 15 nematode species, 40% were saproxylic, 33.3% entomophilic, 13.3% phytophagous, and by 6.7% predators and species associated with fungi. An entomophilic nematodes Cryptaphelenchus macrogaster f. acuminati was common in all parts of stem and branches (frequency of occurrence 25–33.3%). An entomophilic nematodes Parasitorhabditis acuminati and a predator Fuchsia buetschlii acuminati had the highest frequency of occurrence (41.7%) under the thin bark and in the branches. The frequency of these species in colonized with xylophagous insects stem fragments with thin bark was significantly higher than in respective not colonized fragments.

Aim of study: Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a serious threat to the susceptible pine forests. It is caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Nematoda: Parasitaphelenchidae) (Steiner and Buhrer 1934), Nickle 1970 and transmitted by Monochamus Dejean beetles. In the recent study, we assessed the effects of entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) against Monochamus galloprovincialis larvae in Anatolian black pine and Scots pine logs. Area of the study: The experiments were conducted in Duzce University, Faculty of Forestry and in a pine forest at Duzce University campus area. Material and methods: The mean number of eggs per pine logs, and the productivity of S. carpocapsae in M. galloprovincialis larvae were compared under laboratory conditions. The nematode experiments were conducted using oviposited pine logs in the field. Main results: The females of M. galloprovincialis oviposited more eggs on Scots pine compared to black pine logs. Both in black pine and in Scots pine, the survival rates of M. galloprovincialis after nematode application was significantly lower than control. Highlihts: As a result of the study, S. carpocapsae can be an efficient biological control agent of this wood-boring insect.
