Biological control of forest plantation pests in an interconnected world requires greater international focus (2012, background): “Examples specific to plantation forestry include the biological control of Trachymela tincticollis in South Africa, where only one of the four potential biological control agents identified and introduced became established (Tribe and Cillie 2004).”
Ash dieback in the UK: A review of the ecological and conservation implications and potential management options (2014, background): “The fungus Fusarium circinatum, thought to be native to Mexico, causes pine pitch canker and over the last 50 years has spread widely in many pine growing areas of the world, including North and South America, Japan, the Republic of Korea and South Africa (Wingfield et al., 2008).”
Novel associations between pathogens, insects and tree species threaten world forests (2010, background): “Consequently, the accidental introduction of pests and pathogens is recognised as one of the greatest threats to plantation sustainability (Wingield et al., 2006, 2008; Desprez-Loustau et al., 2007; Holmes et al., 2009).”
Diversity and evolution of Fusarium species in the Gibberella fujikuroi complex (2009, unknown): “…some are responsible for vascular wilts or root rots on many important vegetable, ornamental and field crops (Kraft et al ., 1981; Linderman, 1981; Nelson et al ., 1981), while others produce cankers on soft-and hardwood trees (Bloomberg, 1981; Dwinell et al ., 1981, 2001; Wingfield et al ., 2008).”
Emerging diseases in European forest ecosystems and responses in society. (2011, background): “the movement of several exotic pathogens into native hosts [48,49].”
Management of Fusarium diseases affecting conifers (2015, unknown): “F. circinatum poses a major problem in pine seedling nurseries in the U.S., South Africa and Chile, among other locations (Wing ﬁ eld et al., 2008).”
