This nematode, probably originating from North America, has been introduced into parts of Asia and Europe (Portugal and small areas in Spain) where it causes severe damage and tree mortality. As B. xylophilus is a serious threat to pine trees grown for forestry or amenity purposes, it is important to prevent any further spread. In Europe, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is transmitted by Monochamus galloprovincialis. Wilting pine trees. Courtesy: Manuel Manuel Galvão de Melo e Mota (Universidade de Evora, PT).
