Management
Protective embargoes placed by the EU on untreated lumber transported from the U.S. and Canada have resulted in more indirect economic losses (2,3). Because there is no cure for pine wilt, management practices have concentrated on preventing the spread of the PWN. Infected trees are cut and either burned or chipped, soft wood timber is stripped of its bark to prevent oviposition by vectors, and all lumber shipped overseas is either fumigated or kiln dried. Despite these preventative measures the PWN has recently made in appearance in Portugal, and threatens to spread to other countries in Europe.
