Oak wilt is a devastating exotic disease, killing some trees rapidly in a single season. [7] Oak wilt is an important disease in urban areas where trees are highly valued. The disease reduces property values because of the loss of trees and is economically costly to the property owner since they or the local government must pay for tree removal.

Excessive moisture above the fibre saturation point in wood is required for fungal ...
