The diversity and dynamics of fungi in Dryocosmus kuriphilus community
Dryocosmus kuriphilus (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) is a gall wasp that induces insect galls on chestnut trees and results in massive yield losses worldwide. Fungi can cause the necrosis of chestnut trees and the death of gall wasps. The aim of this research was to investigate the potential role of D. kuriphilus in the transmission of fungi and the possibility that fungi act as biocontrol measures against D. kuriphilus.
