Noctilio and infection levels of pine needle blight disease (caused by the pathogen Dothistroma septosporum). Spradbery and Kirk (1978) found that infestations of the Lepidopteran larvae Choristoneura murinana, Lymantria monacha or Thaumetopoea pityocampa made trees more susceptible to attack by S. noctilio. In South Africa, infestations of the Lepidopteran larvae Euprocits terminalis or the beetles Hypopholis sommerrii and Pissodes nemorensis are common during the flight season of S. P. Hurley, personal observation), and are also thought to make trees more susceptible to attack.
Areolatum (Coutts and Dolezal 1966). Tolerance involves suppressing the effect of the mucus by reducing transpiration or the premature senescing of affected needles. Kile et al. (1979) showed that there was some level of mucus resistance in P. radiata trees, which was under genetic control. But, even the more resistant trees would be overcome in time and by high infestations. 5 Host Records Recorded hosts of the S. noctilio – A. areolatum complex include species of Pinus, Abies, Larix, Picea, Pseudotsuga and Araucaria (Spradbery and Kirk 1978; Madden 1988, Chap.
