Insect Transmission of Oak Wilt    (View PDF)

C.O. Rexrode

Abstract: A review of the research done in attempts to identify the insect vectors of the oak wilt fungus Ceratocystis fagacearum. Oak bark beetles Pseudopityophthorus sp. are believed to be the most important vectors of the oak wilt fungus. Nitidulids, sap-feeding beetles, probably aid in the transmission of the fungus when mycelial mats of the fungus develop on diseased trees
