Quickscan Bursaphelenchus fungivorus

Description

All bark from Portugal should be heat treated in order to eliminate possible B. xylophilus (Commission Decision 2006/133/EC). The finding of B. fungivorus in bark originating from Portugal indicates that the treatment of the bark lot had not (sufficiently) been effective.
