Pine wilt disease threatens central Illinois pine trees
Pine wilt, caused by the pinewood nematode and its organisms, is killing Scotch and Austrian pines in Illinois. Since 1979 the disease has spread to 55 counties and 21 pine species, with the longhorned California pine sawyer beetle acting as the main vector. Prompt removal of dead trees and proper disposal are recommended to curb spread, with gratitude noted to the Illinois Natural History Survey and partners.
