Arthropods were collected from flowering dogwoods infected with Discula destructiva Redlin, causal agent of dogwood anthracnose, to evaluate their ability to transport viable conidia. During 1994, 7.2% of all arthropods collected (n = 375) from diseased trees at three sites in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park were carrying viable conidia of D. destructiva. Most [92.6% (25/27)] of the conidia-infested arthropods were collected during June when sporulation and spread of dogwood anthracnose were increasing. From July through September, the expansion of disease severity and incidence of sporulation diminished and the frequency of conidia-infested arthropods decreased. Several species of arthropods with viable conidia of D. destructiva were collected lending support to the hypothesis that insects and other arthropods may play a role in the spread of dogwood anthracnose.

Dogwood anthracnose, caused by Discula destructiva (1), is another new catastrophic tree disease that has ravaged natural populations of the flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) in the Appalachians over the past 15 years, and the epidemic is prognosticated to continue (2). An estimated 9.5 million acres have been affected, primarily in the Appalachian Mountains, from VA southwards, alone, and an estimated 50% of all dogwoods in PA have been killed. Since acid deposition has been linked experimentally with disease induction, and since the disease incidence and severity are more pronounced at higher elevations where lower pH precipitation events occur, we investigated the effect of acidic foliar sprays on moiphologic changes in the foliar cuticle and trichomes (3), the initial sites of infection and foci of Discula sporulation.
