Effects of temperature, relative humidity and time on survival of pinewood nematodes in wood chips

Abstract: The survival of two Canadian isolates of the pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, in coniferous wood chips under different temperatures, relative humidities and time intervals was investigated in vitro. The nature of the survival mechanism was examined and it was shown that the nematode's prolonged survival in the chips depended on its dispersal third larval stage. The possibility of PWN‐infested wood chips spreading PWN‐induced pine‐wilt disease to forests is discussed.

“…For T. atroviride in particular, nematicidal activity against root‐knot nematodes has been observed (Davies & Spiegel, ). The persistence of the PWN at low population densities in our test of long‐term survival suggests that the availability of large amounts of nutritional fungus might not have been necessary (Panesar et al., ; Sousa, Naves, Bonifacio, Inacio, et al. ).…”

“…The vascular fungal pathogen, Ceratocystis fagacearum (Bretz) Hunt, the cause of oak wilt, can survive in dead and dry oak wood for up to a year (Lewis 1987). Pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) (Steiner and Buhrer), the cause of pine wilt disease, is known to survive in conifer wood chips for 14 Ð20 mo (Panesar et al 1994). …”
