Those few that do recover have a recurrence of the disease in later years.<\/p>\n<p>The main <strong>internal symptom<\/strong> is the presence of a red ring \u2013 seen as such in a cross section cut through the trunk of an infested palm, 3-5 cm wide, and found 1-7 ft above the soil line.\u00a0 The color is commonly red but may vary from light pink or cream to dark brown.\u00a0 The tissue of a healthy palm is creamy white.\u00a0 Internal symptoms are visible within 2-3 weeks after the nematode enters a healthy plant. <strong>External symptoms<\/strong> in infested coconut palms include dwarfed, deformed, and yellow-bronzed leaves that turn deep reddish brown.\u00a0 This color change starts at the tip of leaves, beginning in older leaves and progressing to younger ones.\u00a0 Leaves eventually die and will often break close to the petiole or remain hanging from the stem.\u00a0 In African oil palms and older coconut palms, small, deformed leaves remain green initially.\u00a0 Similarly new leaves are also dwarfed and the central crown of the tree resembles a funnel.\u00a0 This is a sign of little leaf disease, a chronic disease that can lead to red ring disease.\u00a0 Eventually these little leaves become necrotic and often stop producing fruit. External symptoms take up to 2 months to appear after infection.<\/p>\n<p>Damage Potential:\u00a0 The disease kills palm trees. Losses of 80 and 35 percent in coconut and oil palm production respectively are reported in the tropics.\u00a0 Palms are cultivated mainly for landscape, and date palms in particular are also grown for fruit production in California.\u00a0 Red ring nematode is not present in the USA.\u00a0 Introduction of the red ring nematode would devastate landscape\/ornamental, tourism, date fruit palm industries, as well as domestic and international trade.<\/p>\n<p><em>Transmission<\/em>: RRN is spread mainly by the Palm Weevil, <em>R. palmarum.<\/em>\u00a0 Studies on red ring disease conducted in Grenada showed that 22.3 percent of coconut palms were infected with the disease.\u00a0 Of those infected, 92 percent had been invaded by palm weevils \u2013 and it was estimated that 72 percent of those weevils had vectored the nematode (Esser &amp; Meredith, 1987).\u00a0 Other vectors reported include ants, spiders, and other potential weevil vectors such as <em>Metamasius hemipterus<\/em> and <em>Rhynchophorus cruentatus<\/em>. \u00a0It can also be spread by tools used to cut down infested trees, and roots.<\/p>\n<p><em>Survival<\/em>:\u00a0 The red ring nematodes survive less than a week in soil or on the body of a weevil.\u00a0 They can survive 16 weeks in nut husks and 90 weeks in seedling tissue.\u00a0 They can survive for long periods within an infected weevil.<\/p>\n<p><em>Location\/recovery of the nematode: 1. From the Palm weevil<\/em>.\u00a0 Male and female Palm Weevils are infested internally and externally with RRN juveniles.\u00a0 Newly emerged weevils from cocoons carry high numbers of RRN.\u00a0 Fewer nematodes have been found on the body of the insect than inside of it.\u00a0 Empty cocoon (after weevil emergence) are rarely infested with the nematode.\u00a0 <em>2.\u00a0 From Coconut palm. <\/em>\u00a0RRN is located in the reddish tissue of the ring and immediately adjacent to it, especially in the inner circle. As many as 50,000 individuals have been found in 10 grams of infected stem tissue.\u00a0 They can also be recovered from the top part of the trunk where the necrotic spots appear, and from petioles and necrotic lesions of older leaves.\u00a0 <em>3. \u00a0From Oil palm.\u00a0 <\/em>RRN is located in the discolored ring and the internal tissue adjacent to the ring.\u00a0 Recovery from other plant parts: necrotic lesion on trunk, petioles, etc, is variable as the nematodes may be absent there.\u00a0\u00a0 <em>4. From palm roots and soil.<\/em> <strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Usually numbers of RRN in palm roots and soil are variable (low to absent).\u00a0 In the soil they have been found as deep as 80 cm, however, most nematodes are found 30-40 cm deep.<\/p>\n<p><u>Worldwide Distribution<\/u>:\u00a0\u00a0 Central America, South America and many Caribbean islands: <em>Belize, Brazil. Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Saint Vincent and the Grenadine Islands, Surinam, Tobago, Trinidad and Venezuela.<\/em>\u00a0 Reports of the presence of the nematode in Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Jamaica have not been confirmed.\u00a0 Earlier reports of the nematode in Puerto Rico have been negated following targeted surveys.\u00a0 In certain regions, mainly from Mexico to South America and in the lower Antilles, the red ring nematode is co-distributed with its primary vector the South American Palm Weevil (Brammer &amp; Crow, 2008).<\/p>\n<p><u>Official Control<\/u>:\u00a0 \u00a0The following countries include <em>Bursaphelenchus coccophilus<\/em> on their \u2018Harmful Organism Lists\u2019: Antigua and Barbuda, Chile, China, Dominica, Honduras, Jamaica, Saint Lucia.\u00a0 In the USA, <em>B. coccophilus<\/em> is a federally regulated pest per Federal Order issued January 25, 2010.<\/p>\n<p><u>California Distribution<\/u>: <em>Bursaphelenchus coccophilus<\/em> has not been detected in California.<\/p>\n<p><u>California Interceptions<\/u>:\u00a0 <em>Bursaphelenchus coccophilus<\/em> has never been detected in host palm trees imported into California.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Consequences of Introduction:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><b>1)<\/b><strong>\u00a0Climate\/Host Interaction:<\/strong> Evaluate if the pest would have suitable hosts and climate to establish in California.
