AB Pine pitch canker (PPC), caused by Fusarium circinatum, is considered among the mostimportant diseases affecting pines in many locations throughout the world. In Europe, F. circinatum iscurrently present in the Iberian Peninsula, posing a high risk of its spread into currently disease-freecountries in Europe. In the present study, the susceptibility of Pinus sylvestris, Picea abies, andLarix decidua originating in the Czech Republic to F. circinatum was tested. Furthermore, the presenceof asymptomatic yet infected seedlings was also checked. This study demonstrated the pathogenicityof F. circinatum to the Czech provenance of P. sylvestris, whereas Picea abies and Larix decidua provedto be tolerant. The reisolation of F. circinatum beyond the inoculation point demonstrated thatthis quarantine pathogen is able to infect the three conifers tested, giving rise to asymptomaticseedlings for at least eight and a half months. To our knowledge, this is the first study in which thepresence of symptomless seedlings has been recorded in the genera Picea and Larix. This findingpoints out that the European legislation would fail to avoid the risk of new introductions viasymptomless seedlings, since this legislation is only restricted to plants of the genus Pinus andthe species Pseudotsuga menziesii.
