Abstract A description is provided for Scirrhia acicola[Mycosphaerella dearnessii]. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On pines, including Pinus palustris, P. tueda, P. halepensis, P. nigra (and varieties), P. pinaster, P. pinea, P. sylvestris, P. thunbergii, P. ponderosa, P. strobus, P. monticola, P. attenuata, P. caribaea, P. elliottii, P. radiata, P. echinata, P. glabra, P. rigida, P. serotina, P. sondereggii, P. virginiana. DISEASE: Brown spot needle blight (11, 813; 41, 185). GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Canada (46, 1929); USA (Southern States, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Oregon, Wisconsin); USSR (Republic of Georgia) (46, 3231). (CMI Map 482, ed. 1, 1971). TRANSMISSION: By splash-dispersed, airborne conidia from infected foliage on the tree or after the needles have been cast. The role of ascospores in spread of brown spot needle blight is not known; endospores (45, 3229) have also been described. The incubation period has been found by various authors to be 28-65 days (46, 2329), 2-3 months for young foliage of P. palustris (40, 636) and 4-7 months for old foliage of P. tueda (46, 3230). Accounts of the effect of age of foliage on susceptibility also vary (40, 636; 46, 3230).

Abstract A description is provided for Arthrocladiella mougeotii. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. DISEASE: Powdery mildew of Lycium species only. The mycelium, conidiophores, conidia and ascomata form first white, then dirty-grey patches on damaged green parts of the host. Infected parts are deformed slightly and, in cases of high infection, plants can lose their ornamental qualities. Damaged leaves can fall prematurely. HOSTS: Lycium barbarum (= L. europaeum), L. chinense, L. dasystemum, L. halimifolium, L. ovatum, L. potaninii, L. rhombifolium, L. ruthenicum. [Type host - Lycium barbarum] GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: Africa: Canary Islands. Asia (temperate areas only): Armenia, Azerbaijan, China, Republic of Georgia, Israel, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kirghizistan, Korea, Russia (Russian far east), Tadzhikistan, Taiwan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. Australasia: New Zealand (introduced). Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Rumania, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Ukraine (southern), former Yugoslavia. North America: USA (introduced). TRANSMISSION: By wind-dispersed conidia. The rôle of ascospores in disease transmission is unknown, although it has been supposed that they can cause the initial stage of the disease.

Abstract A description is provided for Scirrhia pini[Mycosphaerella pini]. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: On pines including Pinus radiata and its hybrids, P. halepensis, P. canariensis, P. carbaea, P. ponderosa, P. nigra and others, Pseudotsuga menziesii (46, 2860), Larix decidua (49, 273). DISEASE: Dothistroma blight; red band. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: North America (Canada, USA including Alaska), South America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay), Australasia and Oceania (New Zealand), Asia (Brunei, India, Japan), Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rhodesia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda), Europe (Austria, France, Rumania, UK, USSR (Republic of Georgia), Yugoslavia) (CMI Map 419, ed. 2, 1970; record in CMI Herbarium). TRANSMISSION: By airborne conidia released and dispersed by a splash take-off mechanism for short distances. Long distance dispersal may be by transport of infected material, such as nursery stock and, under special conditions, clouds may carry sporal inoculum (43, 2100). Survival time of inoculum in the form of cast, infected foliage on the forest floor is limited to 2-6 months under moist conditions (50, 2003).

The brown spot needle blight, caused by the fungal pathogen Lecanosticta acicola, has been the most serious and damaging disease on needles of Pinus spp. in recent years. In Bulgaria, the pathogen was reported for the first time in 2017 in a generative plantation of Pinus sylvestris in the region of the State Forestry Ardino, the Eastern Rhodopes. The newly- established invasive pathogen is considered highly adaptable to new hosts and environmental conditions. The life cycle and symptoms of the disease strongly suggest that the new emerging pathogen has the potential to cause severe damages and is a serious threat to naturally distributed species of Pinus in the country. In the period 2018-2019, a spread of L. acicola from the initial outbreak was established throughout stands of P. sylvestris and P. nigra on the territory of Kardzhali District.

There are two records of brown spot needle blight caused by <I>L. acicola</I> in the Czech Republic up to date. Disease was first reported on June 2007 in National Nature Reserve (NNR) Červená Blata, South Bohemia. A more recent discovery of <I>L. acicola</I> took place on August 2008 in the NNR Borkovická Blata. The disease was observed on 10-60 year old <I>Pinus rotundata</I>. Both locations with infected trees are situated inside nature conservation sites under strict protection regimes that are located approximately 50 km apart. In both sites, <I>L. acicola</I> occurred simultaneously with <I>Dothistroma septospora</I>, the red band needle blight causal agent on Scots pine (<I>Pinus sylvestris</I>), bog pine (<I>P. rotundata</I>) and their hybrid (<I>P. × digenea</I>). However, infections of both diseases on the same tree have not yet been observed.
