The pinewood nematode is a serious pest and pathogen of forest tree species. This highly inter-disciplinary and relevant text covers all issues pertaining to pine wilt disease. The book further deals with trade and political issues useful for decision-makers.
Pine wilt disease (PWD) is unquestionably a major threat to forest ecosystems worldwide. After seriously affecting Eastern Asian countries, the challenge is now in Europe, following its detection in Portugal in 1999 and its subsequent spread. For foresters, these were really very bad news and, in order for adequate action to be taken, scientists had to teach politicians about the seriousness of the problem. That is never an easy task, but it was successfully done at that time, mainly by the continued effort of Professor Manuel Mota. The challenge of having political decisions based on good science is fundamental for the success of any program, but especially in dif?cult situations such as those arising by the introduction of harmful organisms in new ecosystems. The success of the dialogue between science and policy requires intelligent partners from each side, which is not always necessarily the case... Examples of lack of recognition of problems raised by science are unfortunately abundant throughout the history of science. The recent recognition of the efforts of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Al Gore with the - bel Prize, and the continued failure in taking appropriate actions by major political players is a dramatic modern example of the dif?culty of this dialogue...

From the reviews:
"This volume ... focused on a variety of topics relevant to PWD, including the threat to forest ecosystems, a summary of the current state of PWD research and insights into future scientific developments. ... the coverage of this book is comprehensive, each chapter providing an interesting and authoritative account of the current developments in PWD research. ... this is a useful, reasonably up-to-date and competently executed volume that justifies a niche on the shelf of all those involved in the PWD arena." (David J. Hunt, Nematology, Vol. 11 (2), 2009)
