Interspecific communication between pinewood nematode, its insect vector, and associated microbes
Highlights • The pinewood nematode (PWN) forms a symbiotic partnership with its insect vector and associated microbes. • Chemical signals produced by Monochamus beetle and fungi promote the spread of PWN. • Horizontal gene transfer has contributed to the plasticity and pathogenicity of PWN.
