Question

Which of these is a tree disease spread by beetles?
A. German Oak Disease
B. Dutch Elm Disease
C. Belgian Ash Disease
D. Australian Willow Disease

Answer 1

Thanks for the query.

Dutch elm disease affects elm trees and is spread by the Elm bark beetle.The Elm trees are first affected on a branch with leaves withering and dying which ultimately spreads throughout the tree finally killing it. Although, the disease is spread by the beetle, it is caused by a form of sac fungi. The disease was thought to be native to Asia but accidentally got introduced in America and Europe. This disease also got introduced into New Zealand.
