Detection of ceratocystis DNA was confirmed in 13 of 14 beetle species, indicating their potential role in disease spread.
Samples from infected trees showed that viable ceratocystis propagules were difficult to recover, pointing to limited beetle transmission effectiveness.
Beetles and frass from trees infected with ceratocystis were systematically collected and analyzed using qPCR and culture methods.
Investigation suggests the need for continued research into the beetles' role in the transmission of ceratocystis manginecans in commercial forestry.
