Disease Incidence, Symptomatology, and Vegetative Compatibility Type Distribution of Endothia Parasitica on Oak and Chestnut Hosts in North Carolina

ABSTRACT.--American chestnut, scarlet oak, white oak, and post oak were identified as hosts of Endothia parasitica in the North Carolina mountains and Piedmont. Symptomatology of the oak hosts, and disease incidence by region are given. A diversity of vegetative compatibility (v-c) types were collected from each host. Similar specific v-c types were found on the different hosts, however the relative frequencies varied between hosts. Scarlet oak, because of its range, has the greatest potential for use in hypovirulence research.
