Genetic variation among Japanese populations of Platypus quercivorus (Coleoptera: Platypodidae), an insect vector of Japanese oak wilt disease, based on partial sequence of nuclear 28S rDNA
The Japanese oak wilt pathogen
Raffaelea quercivora
and the platypodid beetle,
Platypus quercivorus
, cause serious mass mortality of
Quercus
spp. in Japan. Here, we present the first draft genome sequence of
R. quercivora
JCM 11526 to increase our understanding of the mechanism of pathogenicity and symbiosis with the ambrosia beetle.
