The pathogen causing Dutch elm disease makes host trees attract insect vectors.
Dutch elm disease is caused by the fungal pathogen Ophiostoma novo-ulmi which is transmitted by the native elm bark beetle, Hylurgopinus rufipes. We have found that four semiochemicals (the monoterpene (-)-beta-pinene and the sesquiterpenes (-)-alpha-cubebene, (+)-spiroaxa-5,7-diene and (+)-delta-cadinene) from diseased American elms, Ulmus americana, synergistically attract H. rufipes, and tha...

متن کاملStudy on two species of Ophiostoma in relation with Dutch elm disease in Iran
An investigation was carried out in some areas of Golestan Province including: Loveh forest, Soosara, Daland forest park, Tooskestan; Gilan Province including Siahkal and Asalem forests; Arasbaran and landscape of urban trees during 1999–2007. In this investigation, based on some morphological, physiological and molecular characteristics and also comparison with standard isolates two species Op...
متن کاملHost–Pathogen Interactions: Proline Gives Insect Pathogens the Green Light
How does a quiescent symbiont of a nematode worm know when to turn nasty? Metabolic analysis and genetic knockouts confirm that model insect pathogens can sense L-proline in insect blood. This not only serves as a wake-up call, activating secondary metabolite virulence factors, but also provides an energy source for a metabolic shift appropriate for adaptation to the host environment.
