Mainly the international trade of wood and wooden products led to an introduction of the pine wood nematode from its habitat in Northern America to Asia (Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan) and Europe (Portugal, Spain). Since then efforts were made in the infested areas to eradicate the nematode. Not only in the infested countries but also in many other countries new research approaches and conception plans were pursued in the previous years to manage the pine wilt disease.
Since the last IUFRO Symposium in Nanjing/China in 2009, several expert groups in the whole world - among other things - worked intensively on different subjects. All research approaches contribute to enhance procedures on the eradication and the management of the PWN resp. the PWD and thus to minimize the economical and the ecological impact on concerned forests.
The aim of the symposium is to bundle the actual research progress and the management of the pine wood nematode and its vector beetles and to enhance the scientific exchange and thus to present the research results to a broad interested group of scientists, disease managers and decision makers.
This symposium is a joint action of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) unit 7.02.10 Pine Wilt Disease (PWD) and the group of the EU-research project REPHRAME „Development of improved methods for detection, control and eradication of pine wood nematode“ in cooperation with the Deutsche Phytomedizinische Gesellschaft - German Scientific Society for Plant Protection and Plant Health (DPG) and the Julius Kühn-Institute (JKI).

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
