Cover Story: An infected sassafras tree in Northern Louisiana showing dead branches with symptoms of laurel wilt caused by Raffaelea lauricola, a fungal pathogen transmitted and vectored by a female redbay ambrosia beetle Xyleborus glabratus (insert). The pathogen–vector relationship resulted in laurel wilt, a nonnative pest-disease complex first reported in the Southeastern United States in 2002. View this paper
