This study compares the early transcriptomic responses of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus to two closely related nematophagous fungi, finding divergent and shared transcriptional patterns.

This study identifies two transcription factors in Bursaphelenchus xylophilus that non-redundantly regulate gene expression across its life cycle, with distinct roles in parasitism and reproduction.

The paper analyzes the mycobiome of Pinus pinaster trees infected by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, finding that PWN presence alters fungal community diversity and structure, with Ophiostomatales dominance in infected trees.
