Summary
The WSDA conducted a Hardwood Survey in 2017 to determine the status of invasive pests
and diseases in Washington State affecting deciduous woody plants. No federal target
pathogens were detected during this survey.
Narrative
Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) performed a visual survey of 30
counties for target diseases (see Table 1 & 2). WSDA exceeded its objectives by surveying
above six to eight sites at multiple locations in 30 counties for plant diseases and 14
counties for insects. A total of 670 samples were collected and submitted to the Plant
Pathology and Molecular Diagnostics Lab (PPMDL) for analysis. The Washington State
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) collected 143 samples targeting the symptoms of
Maple Decline (see Table 5). DNR also baited five streams (see table 4) for the target
Phytophthoras in addition to the ten streams they bait for P. ramorum that we repurposed for
this survey. No target Phytophthoras listed in Table 1 were detected from the stream baits.
In addition to taking samples of symptomatic woody plants for the lab to examine, negative
field observations were made of plants that were free from visible symptoms of the diseases
on our target list. The symptomatic sampled material is noted on the map as a yellow dot,
while documentation of the symptom-free plants shows on the map as an orange square.
WSDA deployed 10 translucent cross-vane traps with Megaplatypus mutatus lure and
10 Lindgren funnels with Qercivorol lure starting in May and completed in June
throughout Western Washington as an added trap to their 2016 Exotic Wood Boring
Insect Survey trap lines. Traps were checked on a three-week cycle, and lures were
changed every three to six weeks or as determined by CAPS approved methods and
traps were removed in September. All traps were negative for Megaplatypus mutatus
and Platypus quercivorus. Since no beetles were caught in the beetle traps, no follow-
up tests were performed to determine if they were carrying Raffaelea quercivora.
The insect surveys, covering 14 counties, for the nine insect pests listed in table 6
below were completed with no detections found. Pheromone surveys for four
Lepidoptera pests were conducted at 100 or more sites across the state. The field
trappers for insect surveys were given erroneous instructions by Dr. Chris Looney, the
entomology lab manager in charge of those surveys. He mistakenly re-used the trap
target numbers from FY2016, which were 100 sites for each trapped insect, rather than

the goal of 120 sites/target specified in the FY2017 workplan. There was no shortage of
traps or lures. This was simply an error that was not realized until compiling the final
report. While this is disappointing, the coverage for those target species was still
relatively thorough across the state. Furthermore, lures for Adoxophyes orana were also
deployed in grape-growing counties in Washington State during FY 2017, and
Thaumatotibia leucotreta lures were used in additional experiments conducted in
western Washington. Nonetheless, traps for Thaumetopoea processionea and Tortix
viridana were deployed at 16 fewer sites than proposed.
Visual surveys for five pests were completed in early autumn and late spring, at 66 total
sites in primarily western WA. No suspect targets were detected. Insects were reared
from acorns collected at 66 sites as a supplement to the chestnut weevil visual survey.
No targets were detected in any of the surveys. Trap location information by county is
provided in Table 7 and noted on the map.
It was our hope that the symptoms of Maple Decline would be associated with only a
handful of organisms. Despite our sampling and testing we were unable to determine a
correlation between Maple Decline and a single or even a handful of organisms. We did
isolate organisms in culture and sequenced the ITS barcoding gene region, but most of the
similar sequences available to compare against in the (National Center for Biotechnology
Information) NCBI and the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD) were not from reference or
voucher specimens. This means that the confidence in determining these organisms to the
species level is not great. The NCBI database can be populated with sequence data that is
incorrectly annotated, has out of date nomenclature, or unpublished sequences which can
lead to incorrect identification of unknown specimens if caution is not used. Also lineage-
specific cutoff values for species determination using the ITS gene region are still being
evaluated and no single value can be applied across all groups (Raja et al. 2017). The
names listed in the table (attached separately Table 3) were not vetted against the two
name system nor verified to see if there were name changes over time. We would urge
caution when interpreting the names of the organisms on the table.
On the table outlining the organisms whose ITS barcoding region was sequenced, there are
a few organisms where both NCBI and BOLD agreed on the identifications (some only at
the genus level) and where BOLD had a match to a voucher specimen. The voucher
matched specimens included: Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (yeast, human pathogen of
immunocompromised patients, potential biocontrol, pathogen antagonist) (Ghani et al.
2014), Epicoccum sp. (plant pathogen), Diaporthe sp. (plant pathogen), Cosmospora sp.
(plant pathogen), and Cadophora melinii (plant pathogen). There were other organisms
where the databases may have agreed but lacked voucher or reference sequences to
increase the confidence in identifying the organisms at the species level. Some of these are
used as biocontrols or are common forest fungi.

Despite our limited ability to identify these organisms to species using the ITS barcoding
gene region, we were able to determine that the symptoms of Maple Decline seem to be
associated with a very wide variety of organisms and that these organisms may not be
causing the disease but could be secondary opportunistic organisms or are simply in the
forest environment. It would seem that the causes of Maple Decline are complex and are
beyond the funding level of this project.

Table 7 Insect Trap Location by County 2017
Results
No federal target pests or diseases were detected in this survey. There was no clear front runner in which a single pathogen might be implicated as the causal agent of Maple Decline. Instead there were 43 organisms detected, many of which were not pathogens. The NCBI and BOLD databases frequently did not agree on what the organisms were based on the ITS barcoding region and/or were not matched to a voucher or reference sequence. Expected Benefits
1. The pest free status of Washington State and the Northwest region will be
maintained by early detection and possible eradication of an economically important group of pathogen and insect pests.
2. Washington State and the Northwest region’s fruit, nut, berry, nursery, and forestry
industries will be protected from an important group of destructive pest insects.
3. The survey will help maintain the unregulated export of fruit, nuts, berries, nursery stock, and forestry products from Washington State to international markets.
