Pine Wilt Nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Mar 2026

I painted the symptoms of pine wilt nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, along with its beetle vector, the whitespotted pine sawyer (Monochamus scutellatus), and the nematode itself (not to scale).

The painting shows wilted brown pine needles, a whitespotted pine sawyer - Monochamus scutellatus, and a nematode.
