Sister species, shared and divergent responses: early transcriptomic profiling of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus exposed to Esteya spp.

David Pires, Ana Rita Varela, Miroslav Kolařík…·Cláudia S. L. Vicente

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

Mycobiome of Pinus pinaster trees naturally infected by the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Cláudia S. L. Vicente, Ana Rita Varela, Anna Maria Vettraino…·Maria L. Inácio

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.
