Abstract

Esteya vermicola (Ophiostomataceae) is the first reported endoparasitic fungus of the pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Nematoda: Aphelenchoidoidea). It has high in vitro infectivity. In this study, the nematocidal effect of E. vermicola in logs was investigated and evaluated. Two months after inoculation of pine wilt-killed Pinus densiflora logs with E. vermicola conidia suspensions of 3 × 108 and 3 × 106 ml−1, the density of nematodes decreased by approximately 79% and 47%, respectively. When the fungus was sprayed on to four-year-old pine seedlings one month before PWN inoculation, the survival index of seedlings reached 0.67 compared with only 0.067 for control seedlings without fungal spraying. These results suggest that conidia spraying of E. vermicola can, to some extent, protect pine trees from wilt disease. Moreover, infected nematodes and hyphae of E. vermicola were observed in the treated wood sections.
