AB Fusarium circinatum (Nirenberg and O’ Donnell) is the causal agent of pine pitch canker(PPC) disease, one of the most devastating forest diseases worldwide. Long-distance spread occursmainly through the movement of infected seeds whereas at regional level, the movement of seedlings,substrates, or containers may play an important role in fungal dispersal. Invasion of nurseries takesplace via infected seeds and further spread can occur by planting contaminated seedlings, especiallydue to the possibility of infected plants remaining symptomless. Once established, F. circinatum spreadsby rain, wind, and insects. The natural spread of the pathogen is limited due to the short dispersaldistances of the spores and the fairly short flight distances of disseminating insects. In this review,we summarize the currently known dispersal pathways of the pathogen, discussing both natural andhuman-assisted processes. With the purpose of understanding how to best intervene in the disease’sdevelopment in nurseries and forests, we outline the epidemiology of the pathogen describing thekey factors influencing its spread. Preventive measures to control the spread of F. circinatum locallyand globally are described with special emphasis on the challenges in implementing them.
