| Title : | OCCURRENCE AND DISTRIBUTION OF OPHIOSTOMA NOVO-ULMI IN “BIOGRADSKA GORA” NATIONAL PARK |
| Abstract : | During the monitoring of health condition in "Biogradska Gora" National Park a symptoms of Dutch elm disease were recorded. Analyses confirmed that fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi was present in symptomatic wych elm (Ulmus glabra) trees as causal agent of their wilting. This area is one of the rarest protected ecosystems of this type in the world and until now elm trees were considered to be free of Dutch elm disease. This is the first report of Ophiostoma novo-ulmi in "Biogradska Gora" National Park. Using genetically divergent forests as reservoirs for breathing programs against Dutch elm disease could be more difficult based on these results. Implementation of these results against Dutch elm disease on global and local scale was discussed. |
