Abstract: Pine wilt disease (PWD) is the most serious threat for declining the pine forest in worldwide. Pine wood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is responsible for this disease. As a result of successful phorectic association between Insect vector and PWN, the PWD is occurred which subsequently infect and kill the pine trees. Moreover, the chemical signal via volatile compounds produced by beetle in pine trees assist phorectic association. For this reason, our review was attempted to describe well about the infestation biology of PWN, the role of phoretic association for pathogenicity, invasiveness and parasitism of PWN and how such generated knowledge can be incorporated to the field of management of pine wilt disease.
