Bretziella fagacearum
TaxID: 1836592
Basic Information
Bretziella fagacearum
Oak Wilt
Oak wilt is a fungal disease caused by the organism Bretziella fagacearum that threatens Quercus spp. The disease is limited to the eastern half of the United States, Central Texas, and Southern Ontario. First described in the 1940s in the Upper Mississippi River Valley, the pathogen penetrates xylem tissue, preventing water transport and causing disease symptoms. Symptoms generally consist of leaf discoloration, wilt, defoliation, and death. The disease is dispersed by insect vectors and to adjacent trees through underground root networks. However, human spread is the most consequential dispersal method. Moving firewood long distances can potentially transport diseases and invasive species.

Morphological Features
Ascomatal bases black, globose, with undifferentiated ornamental hyphae, often embedded in mycelial mat. Ascomatal necks elongated, black at base, lighter at apex. Ostiolar hyphae present. Asci dehiscent. Ascospores one-celled, hyaline, ellipsoidal, occasionally curved, embedded in hyaline sheath. Conidiophores arise laterally from vegetative hyphae, occasionally branched. Conidiogenous cells phialidic, cylindrical, pale to dark brown. Conidia unicellular, cylindrical with flattened ends, hyaline, borne in chains of varying length. Aleurioconidia not present.
