This paper provides a summary of common techniques used to detect Pine wilt disease (PWD), emphasizing the importance of comprehending the complex relationship among pinewood nematodes, vectors, and host pine trees. The paper suggests that multiple perspective evaluations based on these techniques are crucial for the rapid and effective detection of PWD, including during asymptomatic stages.
Pine wilt disease (PWD) is a global quarantine disease of forests that mainly affects Pinaceae species. The disease spreads rapidly. Once infected, pine trees have an extremely high mortality rate. This paper provides a summary of the common techniques used to detect PWD, including morphological-, molecular-, chemical- and physical-based methods. By comprehending the complex relationship among pinewood nematodes, vectors and host pine trees and employing the available approaches for nematode detection, we can improve the implementation of intervention and control measures to effectively reduce the damage caused by PWD. Although conventional techniques allow a reliable diagnosis of the symptomatic phase, the volatile compound detection and remote sensing technology facilitate a rapid diagnosis during asymptomatic stages. Moreover, the remote sensing technology is capable of monitoring PWD over large areas. Therefore, multiple perspective evaluations based on these technologies are crucial for the rapid and effective detection of PWD.
