Assessment of the geographic origins of pinewood nematode isolates via single nucleotide polymorphism in effector genes.

Assessment of the geographic origins of pinewood nematode isolates via single nucleotide polymorphism in effector genes.

The pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is native to North America but it only causes damaging pine wilt disease in those regions of the world where it has been introduced. The accurate detection of the species and its dispersal routes are thus essential to define effective control measur...
